WARNING! Land Rover content

This update is brought to you by the letter L, and the number R....  Really, just some photos of the cool Land Rovers I Have seen on my trip so far.

First up is Taz's 110 series IIb forward control.  I really like the flat tray and cab bar, makes it look just right.

And his amazing restored 80"

An original, unrestored 88.  Has been in the family from new.

Geoff's 80" aka. swamp thing.

130" single cab tray back, very useful setup.

As seen before, Keith's beautiful Tickford.

Another 80" from Keith.  This one has a 200TDi, minus turbo and 3.54 diffs.  It is a great vehicle to drive, and the diesel, sounds perfect for an old Land Rover, and zips along wonderfully.

Hey look!  A 1948!

Geoff's 107 wagon.

I could fill pages with interesting Land Rovers, but will try and restrain myself... for now.

Escaping Brisbane

After about a month in Brisbane, I was ready to hit the road, and the Land Rover was coming together nicely... or so I thought...

On the road, heading North to visit with some Land Rover friends.

Checking out Moreton Bay, and check out that snazzy new canopy!

Up the track to my camping spot.

Keith's awesome Tickford.

Getting a go at driving the Ticford.

Former sign post.

After leaving Keith and Anne's I headed south, traveling through Bunya Mountains National Park

Looking west from the mountains.

Old Bloke said it was running and driving when he put it up there... 30 years ago.

V8 super cars race track, and apparently the only pic I have of my time in Surfers Paradise.

107, currently known as "Tucker" getting a lift after the drivers front spring went flat.  Cool old spring shop, still willing to work on old Land Rovers.

I will leave this as a teaser for the next stop along the adventure.

Fraser Island!

Yeah... it was a rough four days

The 107 was left back on the mainland, as I was offered a seat in the Queen Mary

Barge loads directly on the beach

Sadly, not a leaf spring to be found on this trip

After rounding Sandy Cape, the waves are much smaller

Inland, Fraser is very forested

Backpacker transport

Even the trees attack people in Australia

Wanggoolba Creek

Fraser Island is one of the most amazing places I have visited, and hope to return one day.

Day in Brisbane

While the 107 is off having a canopy fitted, I rode the train into Brisbane for the day.

First stop was to the Queensland Maritime Museum.

HMAS Diamantina

Depth charge launcher on back of 107 to keep tailgaters away?

Super awesome tin and steel, steam powered model.  2M long, twin screw propelled for use in sheltered waters.

After the Maritime Museum, I walked down the boardwalk to the Queensland Modern Art Gallery.

There were some great displays, but I neglected to take any pictures...

Except for one of the forest of fuzzy white trees.

In all, was a great way to spend a few hours.

First trip with the new rover.  Drove 500 miles, and no major dramas, to the East coast Land Rover meet at Glenreagh (Glen-ray).

Exploring junk piles with fellow junk enthusiasts.

Resting Rover P3

Headed out to explore some tracks.

107 in the wild.

New mates at the end of a great weekend.
