Just about Namibia.
In general the dirt roads are much better maintained than in Australia. I was amazed at how there was a lack of corrugations until I spied why. We went from kalagari combined National Park to Fish River Canyon then up the dirt road connecting Fish River and Walvis Bay/Swakopmund via the coast road next to the dunes, then up the Skeleton Coast then east to the Caprivi strip to Botswana and Zambia
There are roaming graders which traverse the country continuously towing a trailer which the grader driver lives out of with his second wife who is chosen by his first wife so that he will not muck around and get HIV.
I was told by our truck/bus driver that the main dirt roads are done every two weeks or so.
So the Defender has hardly been tested under typical Australian conditions of hundreds of Ks of unremitting corrugations.
