Correct, that's why the pic was put up and notice the position compared to bond

spotted in Tokyo, not sure if this ones been posted yet.

Off topic (sorry). But I just got back from a 3,200km trip from Melbourne to Mildura, Broken Hill and Camerons Corner.

On that trip I spotted a Defender in Berri (on the black top).
In Bendigo (on the black top).
And a Perentie (on dirt road works).

I spotted 100 Toyota’s
Next popular was Ranger
Then Triton.

Land Rover have a VERY hard job to win back Market Share...

On a similar note - I just drove from Dubbo to Perth - saw four Landrovers (excluding the fleet in Wilmington). Most common was probably Toyota of various types.

i did from brissy to bundy and saw 6 defenders on the weekend.....

no shortage of them in gods own country

Been commuting from Sydney to Port Macquarie weekly for the last 8 weeks. Average sighting one defender a trip, most common would be Hilux, then v8 landcruisers then larger jeeps. Quite a few Range Rovers and Disc’s.

It's quite obvious from preceeding posts that most of the Defenders are out on the tough tracks in remote areas and not simply commuting along the black ribbon between major cities.

We have a plethora of rangerovers and Discoveries on the roads in and around Geraldton WA probably because we have one of Australia's best LR workshops here in town, However Defenders are a rare sight here.
I rarely see any other Landrover on the beach or in the bush when I take my D2a into the Sharks bay region or onto the local beaches, maybe the odd RR or Disco but in the last few years I cannot recall seeing a defender or Series Landrover offroad.
