Recently we saw 2 tractors southbound somewhere along the Goldfields loop north of Kalgoorlie. They appeared to be decked out for touring/camping. Anyone know what the story is there (if there is one!)?

Were they orange. There are a few Chamberlains which I saw on the Nullabor a few years ago touring around. See this previous thread with piccies Chamberlain_Tractors_in_Darwin

Saw theses guys last week on our way to Shark Bay. Must have been on Brand Highway Southbound

We saw them too, heading south from Leonaora towards Menzies. Not sure if they were Chamberlains, but they were both towing camper trailers and the guy driving the second one had a set of ear muffs on, must have been a tad noisy!

Seen one in Carnarvon a couple of days ago towing a small van.

Four Chamberlains came in to Wiluna (Gunbarrel Laager) from Well 5 about the second week of July. Two of them headed south, I think to Albany as one of the owners was not feeling well. The other two (one with the van) headed west to Carnarvon.

Came across 40 or 50 of these guys a number of years ago at Giles. They where on their way from Perth to the tip of Cape York via the Gunbarrel. Had an interesting chat to a few of them as I passed them on my way back East.
