Hi,
It annoys the Mrs no end when I point out old Landies in paddocks, under trees, in sheds etc. Most will not run, but some are 'out to grass' as a boat launch vehicle, or similar low stress terminal duties.
She thinks they are unkempt and scruffy (so why did she marry me?) but I feel they have a certain dignified and rustic appeal.

So feel free to post photos of such retired work horses here.

I'll start with one at Trial Harbour on the West coast of Tasmania, sitting out side a local shack and relegated to local launching duties by the looks of it.

This one was taken in Tassie also, down Freycinet Peninsula, and a boat launcher as well:D

This one's in the hinterland. Enquired about buying it, but it's a well loved family toy & still used around the paddock.
