Ok, about 3hrs to departure. Things left to do, new battery somewhere between Tassie and Perth, buy 4m of fuel line.
So if you see this vehicle somewhere on the road between Tassie and Perth, give me a wave (I know its only a disco, friendly one though), if someone has something that can be jammed in that they want moved from a to b along my route give me a bell on 0419 588 633

Have a great trip!

Although you can get the AULRO discount on supercharge batteries in Perth, everything is $$$ over here, so I would reccommend gettiong a battery in melbourne (or Adelaide if you are going that way).

Happy trails and welcome to WA when you get here.

PS that's a nicely packed Landy. I wish i wasn't to tight/poor to put a cargo barrier and some sensible storage sloutions in my Defender.

Not Real sure as yet. Horrors of horrors I have been invite along for a run with a few of the boys from the Jeep Club on sunday week (just gotta hope I dont put the landie name to shame against locked jeeps). Day befor on the saturday I believe we are going to the dogs (greyhounds). See if I can escape the wife and daughter during the week to catch up with a few of you guys if possible. Also gotta modify my battery tie downs where I replace my start battery with a 600cca battery just before getting on the boat. Dont ya gotta love doing last minute thinks because you cant get the right battery in the home town.

Update
Just arrived in the Barrossa Valley (no one home).
Only seen 2 disco (no other vehicles from the landie family ) all day from Melbourne, one on the side of the road parked at some road works about 20km before talem bend, The other pulled up behind me when fueling up in Nurioopta.
Fairly uneventful boring drive thus far on the tarmac, vehicle not used as designer intended.
Looks a bit greener than when I was here last in november last year but only just.
Just waiting now for my sister to turn up hopefully with a nice red (should be no excuses).
Early start tommorow hoping to cover about 12 to 1400km tomorrow
Been thinking (lots of time), might start chasing a 93-94 rrc, total standard, neat and tidy with no rust at all with all bits working (big ask I know). So if one comes up send me a pm and we can talk
cheers

Harvey - that's where I grew up! Lived in Uduc Rd. My brother and sister still live in the town.
