Arkaroola is a privately owned Sanctuary in the far Northern Flinders Ranges (Gammon Ranges).
It was the June Long Weekend (cheers Liz) and the plan to go to Adelaide was cancelled at the last minute. As the family wasn’t interested in heading North (too cold/far/boring/remote/lazy) I called...
Mine is the twin turbo V8 diesel. Although we pay a premium amount for ours we still miss out on some "fruit" including the radar cruise. Very frustrating when reading the owners manual and seeing what we don't get in Australia.

G'day all.

Every second year, on the October Long Weekend, the Whyalla 4WD Club hosts the Weekend in Whyalla.
4WDers from around the state (and six vehicles this year from Tassie) converge on the Whyalla Showgrounds for tours of the region and a great social scene around the nightly bonfire.
Here are a...
Spent the long weekend at Merna Mora Station near Hawker, South Oz.

A few teasers :coffee:
Gday Grimbo
Lets call a spade a spade. I looked at them too when they were first released and they were a piece of crap. The second gen ones are far better designed and made.
So far so good.

Updated pics. Sadly the nice paint job is pinstriped again. LOL
