    SOME GOOD NEWS AND NOT SO GOOD NEWS

    The good first Andrew and his passenger are both good no injury's Now the for the bad last night on his last leg of his trip he rolled that beautiful big yellow Landi of his. He is not sure if its a wright off or not, It seens that a suspension failure on the left hand rear side may have caused it. He was towing his trailer and it suffered a bent draw bar.

    Not a lot of body damage but the rear suspension is in a pretty sad way I can only relate to what he told me over the phone this morning, will keep all updated if more info come my way

    Just got a call from Andrew - seems awfully optimistic which is good.

    He is in Winton and will be making his way to Longreach and hiring a car to get home.

    He had a blow out on one of his back tyres. Managed to slow the Defender right down but something must have dug in. As mentioned the rear suspension is bad news and the roof rack caused a bit of damage to the canopy but as I said he is awfully optimistic in view of the circumstances.

    As mentioned he and his friend are all well.
