What fantastic properties to traverse. Here in the north east of Victoria we have some stunning countryside, but it’d be a rare case if we were to be able to travel around properties the way you guys seem to be able to do. I’m sure it takes a bit to organise, so hats off to the people who work behind the scenes to get you there. Also, an impressive amount of Series 1’s still capably running around there, just awesome 👍
Hi - thanks for the comment. Yes - these trips are arranged around 12 months in advanced. Leon is the main contact and looks for local volunteers to co-ordinate local access. A great source of access is via local Vintage Car clubs, as many members are also Farmers who are happy to let old farts driving old bangers to tour around their property.
There are plusses and minuses to track maintenance. If the road is too good - it gets hammered - if it is in poor condition the road can end up being widened by determined Off-Roaders. Vigilance and respect for the access is the best solution. Thanks for the comment.
My Land Rover makes yours look like a Tesla is so bloody loud compared to yours. You can hear the CB radio was so loud inside, I have to stick my head out the window to hear the radio when doing anything more than about 10 miles an hour
My gearbox is making a lot of sounds it shouldn't, so suspect an overhaul is not too far away. Owning my Series 1 for 30 years - and also a Series 3 I learned early on that a good drink of Moreys oil stabiliser in the Transfer box makes a huge difference to the wear and noise. Thanks for the comment.
Are you talking about Takapari Road? It would depend on the time of year. The reports received at the time, was that it was an easy access - but this proved to be not the case. Thanks for the comment.

Awesome video kev!
Thank you - very pleased you enjoyed it.
Superb job Kevin - thanks heaps. Nearly wants me to get a series 1 & join you. Regards Bruce
Thank you Bruce. Invest in precious metal - Buy a Series 1.
Would love to join you when I have finished putting my 86" back together. A great video.
I look forward to you joining us.
Well done, takapari has been "closed" to vehicles for a while, think the local 4wd club are trying to sort getting that hole fixed.

@@Kevz110 it doesn’t help that I have the 2 1/2 naturally aspirated diesel in mine. Thanks for your response.
@@Snorting-tuna That's what I was running in my Series 3 - with Fairly Overdrive
Why anyone without any off road experience would go up there is beyond me.
