Another beach run, need to sort out the rust proofing!
Oh well, my bonnet at least! On a day trip today with the Cairns Land Rover club. Very steep rocky power line track from Atherton to Herberton.
A great day out, good people and the Defender just ate it up.
Best wishes all.

Funny you mention that...
Shortly after taking that pic, I was listening to 'welcome home (sanitarium)' by Metallica (Great song, 10/10 guaranteed to get you headbangin' with the best of them).
Made me consider what is 'sanity' when it comes to this vehicle. Some people just drive a car. Others have something deeper. Some are beyond saving.
Lyrics below:
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says Rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Yeah... this car is a disease.
But at least it's a good one.

Yeah it is, but of all the diseases I've had it's the best.
Mines parked between two Toyotas tonight at the Prairie Hotel and it just looks like its part of the landscape. The Toyota drivers would laugh at the dust inside it, but I love it. I feel like I'm driving through the environment instead of just looking at it out of a window.
May as well just watch it on television.
Cheers,
Jon
