old school travelling

He certainly went to a lot of trouble.

Apart from loading and unloading the car, carting the gear back to the car, he also was setting up the shots and the video camera.

He's a goer.

When I was 17 I bought a HQ Kingswood for my first car. Me and my mates used to travel everywhere in that car.
It was amazing the places we got into and out of. Lots of bogs and bent tailshafts. All with an esky for food and drink, a sleeping bag and a tarp.
I then upgraded to a F100, 2 wheel drive, and went even further. Less damage but dearer to fix when it did happen.

I wouldn't want to travel without my Landcruiser now. It's so comfortable and reliable, but we had a ton of fun in those other vehicles.

I learnt a lot from the old Jack Absolam shows on tele. I used to write down what he did and how he did it.

G'day Stephen,

your spot on about the clearance.

You'd be well aware of the number of Falcons from the Communities that are belting around on those big dirt roads today.
Fill them full of people and head into Alice as quick as they can.

I still love the security I get travelling in our Cruiser but the bloke in the video is/was a real adventurer, living the dream - one shovel of mud at a time.

Hoo roo,
Steve
