    Road Trip to Melbourne

    Thinking of a road trip to Meb

    Should I take the series III 'zara' or steal the defender of hh...

    I have my youngests daughters Graduation for her Masters degree in Education I am a proud mother.

    decisions.. I love my 'zara' but would the drive take it's toll on me? Probably not as I am so used to driving 'zara' every day, then again a extra long way to drive...decisions...decisions....

    thoughts everyone....

    If you are not in a hurry I'd take Zara the Series 3

    I drove my Series II towing a trailer from Canberra to Dayboro and thoroughly enjoyed the trip, broken up over two and a half days. Although Melbourne is about 500 kilometres further isn't it.

    Congratulations to your daughter

    It a lot further than Beaudesert Carolyn. A big ask from you and Zara, she's not as young as she used to be. Take the red one, shame you don't have a Disco.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    First things first,
    congrats to your daughter and harry and yourself!!

    I hate to say it but take RED130,

    the last thing you need is for ZARA to have a "moment" whilst you are on your way down and it turns into a bad journey...

    besides knowing you too you'll need it to tow something you find back!!

    Have Fun!

    the defender for sure. It is a lot easier to drive long distance and is more secure as in lockable

    If you take the 130 you have your motel room on the back any time you want a break
