    Where have all the Defenders gone ?

    There all in the Leafy Eastern Suburbs of Sydney , thats where.

    Ive been staying in Dover Heights for the last week, Theres a nice 110 SVX 2 doors up, and on the 2.5km 1/2 hour School run theres 3 x Puma 90's . And a detour to a coffee stop at Rose bay a brand new Jimni another 110 & and older 90 in Parisi's car park. (PS Jimni owner was visibly shocked when I approached & asked about his car, no he does not want to swap it for the Iveco)

    More Defenders seen here in the last week than I've seen in the last 10 years ( except for last time I was on grandpa duty here, an equal number of Defenders spotted )

    I see the new LR2020 thing is going to be right at home here. The Iveco is parked in the street while i'm driving this red E-Pace thing for the school run, no one even bats an eyelid.

    Also a lot on the Northern Beaches where our son is at Bilgoela Heights. Down the road one house has both a 110 and a Disco, another 110 a couple of blocks away and two D4s in the son's street.

    Hello from Brisbane.

    Just back from a month in Southern Africa and before that a run from Brisbane to Darwin.

    On the latter trip I saw three Defenders cf a hundred or so Toyota’s.

    In Namibia just five Land Rovers cf several hundred Toyota’s.

    South Africa did us proud - maybe thirty Land Rovers for possibly more than five hundred Toyota’s.

    Am I sensing a trend here?

    Thank god the trendy leafy suburbs are still giving a safe haven....,

    Cheers,

    Neil

    I notice Land Rovers on my USA tours. Other than RR's and a few Discos in my last three trips I sighted one real Land rover, an SIII 88" hardtop parked outside Harrah's in Reno opposite the Elvis wedding chapel. Looked very tidy and original. Lots of poseur RR's in Santa Monica, Malibu, Southern Bay Beaches, Orange County and beaches. Huge dealership in Hermosa Beach but not a real Land Rover on the lot.

    When you next take the open top bus tour of Doomadgee don't miss the red light district.

    I should feel insulted,
    But I don't.
    We have dusty suburbs, does that count?
    What about fly infested suburbs?
    The Open Top Tour Bus is due to rust!
    Big, like HUGE, Mango trees here though.

    I can't imagine it has a red light district, unless it has traffic lights?
