What do you think? Good choice?

Hi Heiner

Our international borders are open

As long as you are fully vaccinated and meet the requirements, you should have no problems.

Cheers

Good to have you back if possible. I like some of the pics you have posted previously.
Which communist state would you like to see first? WA is out of bounds because of ideology, Victoria may be a problem if you have a tennis racquet, or is that, a tennis "racket", in your kit. Queensland will now welcome you if you have $$$$$'s. It might be a while before the stupidity of the nation improves.

Nissan Navara's are getting a bit used by now and many would need to be very thoroughly checked, mechanically. They will do most work and some second hand vehicles have been modified to be more off road oriented. Cam chains on D22 need to be closely assessed before any purchase.

Common fellas anyone can see that English isn't Heiner's first language. Your barbs and innuendo about various states and premiers don't help him, even if in jest.

He just wants travel info and such.

Heiner, take a look on carsales.com.au. If you don't need a ute and are happy with a petrol engine, there are a quite a few Petrol Nissan GU Patrols on sale for less than AUD15 000. They have the thirsty but reliable 4.5l motor and are generally a good reliable simple if basic vehicle. I'd avoid any with lpg conversions as the fuel is increasingly hard to obtain and dual fuel (lpg or petrol) conversions have small petrol tanks. There are a larger number of petrol Toyota Landcruisers for sale, but they are generally AUD5–10 000 more expensive. You can also pick up a much later model generation 3/4 petrol Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero) for that price or a generation 2 for much less. Just be aware that some of the later model generation 2 NL models have Takata airbags that cannot be replaced an are now deemed unroadworthy. Earlier or perhaps base versions of the NL didn't have airbags and are great vehicles. Good hunting.

Yep second hand prices have increased overall.
You haven't mentioned your budget but also have a look at the Mitsubishi Triton if you're looking for a "cheap" 4WD ute.

Howdy guys

thanks for your answers, I see, I have to tell you a bit more...

I've been travelling around Australia for about 20 years and have seen quite a bit.

I love the desert and the solitude, I love all kinds of rainforest, I love to walk on dream beaches.
But most of all I love the very nice people in Australia :)

My travel budget is about 90000,- AUD for the whole year, without airfare.

Yes, my English is poor. I'm working on it! Sorry for that :)

I would like to start the trip with my friends in Perth, but when WA is closed I will have to change my travel plans.
Or maybe wait until April, who knows?
At my friends' place, I would not only have my own flat, but also a workshop to modify or rebuild the 4WD or the trailer. Any other place would most likely not offer such a thing.

Due to some sleep problems I decided to buy a 4WD with offroad trailer, the trailer I can then leave somewhere and make daily tours with the 4WD.

Petrol? ahhh, actually I only like diesel vehicles.
Also because of the advantages off-road.
Maybe a good Nissan Navara D22 that has been checked by a specialist workshop.

Novak Djokovic is just ridiculous.
Good thing the Australian court expelled him, who knows what would have happened if he had been allowed to play?
Uprising of the citizens?

Alaaf

I reckon in your situation I would be looking for a Toyota Troopy camper.
Maybe even an ex hire one. Then add a pile of solar.
Single vehicle, no towing, go anywhere, best service and parts network, best resale (but better to park it up for the next trip?).
Personally, I would go for a high top rather than a pop top.
