Where's the Defender wave gone?

**Handy Harry** · 8th July 2018, 07:24 PM

We have just returned from an 8,000km trip to Darwin and back. The first leg of the trip was as support crew for five cyclists who rode from Winton to Darwin. We averaged 100km per day on that leg of the trip. We got a good wave and headlight flash from a 130 crew cab Puma towing a trailer heading south on the Stuart Hwy (basically the same as our setup). There was a Tdi 110 (stretched to 120 the owner said) with a whopping great Palomino camper on the back at Three Ways. It was a beautifully maintained unit.
There were numerous other Defenders sighted along the way. The last before getting back to Rocky was a Series Ute approaching a low level narrow bridge west of Torrens Creek. Without a doubt the most enthusiastic wave came from the passenger in a Disco in Darwin.

We, or I should say, the Cook, always waves to Defenders although there's rarely a response. They're probably not ready for a wave from a Disco.

Saw a nice series 3 outside Total Tools at Joondalup yesterday, very nicely done up in a mushroom colour.
Didn't get to chat with the driver though.

Got an enthusiastic wave from all three occupants of a grey 110 puma in Richmond yesterday :-)

Got a wave and a big thumbs up from a bloke in a dual cab ute (I was too surprised to notice what it was!) driving out of Anglesea along the great ocean road yesterday.

Two waves so far this weekend. A white 130 dual cab with a trailer in North Richmond and a black 130 dual cab with what looked like a light brown camper on the back passing the RAAF base in Richmond :-)

Three waves this morning, and then this pulled up outside the coffee shop I was in

Pretty cool looking unit!

The DeLorean belongs to the owner of the coffee shop and is often there on Saturdays.
