My forays with Land Rover were all through the bush fire brigade where we had series 1, 2, 2A as well as an assortment of other vehicles.
I suppose though it really began in 1982 when I bought my Range Rover for $12000 (then was out of work less than 6 months later :(:() Together with the Numptys we did a heap of camping and exploring around the Yalwal area before it was all locked up with the Ettrema wilderness area, as well as getting out into the desert areas.
