My first Landcruiser

Tonka

Ah ha i recently unearthed pictures from a tour in Australia back in 2003-4.
I bought this wagon off a fella who drove it into Perth from the country. Been in the same family since new. Its plate is from Coolgardie I've been told. It was my daily ride for about a year and a half no problems other than new battery, glow plugs, brake pads, couple of new tyres (due to bad driving) I drove it around most of Western Australia then across to Sydney. were i regret selling it, instead of shipping it back to Europe.
Oh yeah it had a nick name the "Rubber Duck", there was even a backpacker poem for it all i can remember is "its yellow and white and drives like sh'?e"
under a large satelitte dish in Carnavon WA.
