Where are all the bush-going D3s?

[morpheus]

Got back from a week up around Marree in South Australia and noticed a distinct lack of D3s on the way up from Adelaide, out on the Oodnadatta, and on the way back. Saw heaps of D4s (hello if it was any of you!), some D2s and of course Defenders, but not a single D3... I see heaps of them in Adelaide but not that many out the back of beyond. Mine was quite lonely.. but happy to fly the flag!

For those interested, I drove it all around my folks property; it performed flawlessly. Very happy with it. I just need to put the GOE rods in. I got so sick of the car bonging at me and lowering...

Our D3 was dodging sinkholes today at Inskip Point on the way to the Fraser Island ferry.

We're now camped at Waddy Point

Nice solution for storing your Maxtrax - TraxRax I assume? Nice that they sit quite low and accessible.

No issues getting through Indian head or any of the tracks to Waddy as they're quite firm with the recent rain.

Waddy campsites are undesignated which can be chaotic to find a spot to pitch a tent if busy like now during school holidays. Plenty of room to spread out though if no other campers around.

Waddy is a great area for kids with the protected beach behind the point and the sandhills for tobogganing.

There's also a noticeable absence of backpackers this far north...

TraxRax indeed. Great for getting the maxtrax mounted off the roof rack so the entire roof rack can be utilised for our roof top tent, or fishing rods in this instance! The ability to attach the integrated shovel holder is a bonus.

Mines resting in my garage while I'm in Europe for 5 weeks

Mine is sitting unloved in my driveway until I can find some time where none of the family have other commitments so we can get away

It has been dropped from daily driver duties by a younger slimmer more attractive model.

Hey ANDREW,

I will love mine a bit, more. The more bite is for you. Heading to Hervey Bay, Fraser, Longreach, Winton, Dig Tree, Birdsville, Tibooburra, white cliffs, Ivanhoe, then back south.

This will put some KM on the new LT D697 on Gordon's rims. Just of to Landrover with a disappointing restricted performance issue again raising it's ugly head 3 days before departure. Bugger.
