OUTBACK LANDROVER HERITAGE DRIVE 2010

The Landrover Owners Club of the ACT organised the' 2010 Outback Land Rover Heritage Drive', beginning in Bourke NSW and over nine days of driving passing through the outback towns of Wanaaring and Tibooburra in NSW, then Cameron's Corner in Queensland, Innamincka in South Australia, then to Noccundra, Thargominda and Hungerford in Queensland before returning to Bourke to end the run. These images represent part of my experience on the run.
Landrovers built in 1948 through to the latest 2010 models participated without mishap.
