Long Paddock Drive (LPD):
In Australia, the term ‘Long Paddock Drive’ means moving a herd along a stock route or road. Our Club Trips move a group of rigs along many kilometres on outback roads. A Long Paddock Drive (LPD) travels to remote areas of our country for extended periods (greater than 30 days). The Club believes the security and safety of Roustabouts, especially those on their first trip, is paramount. The emphasis is on providing a supportive approach to the travellers, many of whom may be inexperienced travellers. A Long Paddock Drive could be all bitumen, part bitumen / part off road or all off road.

Tagalong and Mystery Tagalong:
A Tagalong is an organised trip like an LPD however is of lesser duration normally up to 30 days.

A Mystery Tagalong is a trip, usually 7 to 20 days duration, organised around the idea, that Roustabouts enjoy a bit of fun, and do not know where they are going or what events they will participate in, from one day to another. Support crew only advise the next location at a briefing before the day’s travel. Prior to the trip, club members are appraised of approximate costs.
