    Yes I am a big believer that the roo bar is only needed if you have to drive at night at high speed. It is quite a big step to have one fitted and your car is forever changed. The odds of strike in the day are extremely low and for the occasional trip into the bush I want to drive days only for the views.

    I did the Nullarbor in my 20's so the entire country from around Cocklebiddy to Ceduna was brand new to me as it was done in the dark previously (we actually had a roo clip and bounce off the side of the car that particular night).

    What was more surprising to me was seeing only one other D3/4 on the road during both crossings. Most are definitely employed on the school run as I see about 20 a day on any morning around my house. Most with Discovery on the bonnet. Makes me think there will be a buying bonanza in 2-3 years time when the leases expire.

    I headed up to Karratha on the school holidays, I know where you coming from with this statement. I did see one (I assume grey nomad -but didn't get a good look at the occupants) brand spanking new looking Range Rover towing a caravan.
