A decade ago, a vague dream began to crystallise next to a campfire on the beach. Like shipwrecked pirates, we were drinking rum and talking about escape. Six months later…I quit my job, bought a used LandCruiser and headed west with the milky way in my eyes. It has been nine years since this first issue of 4WD Touring Australia came out. They’ve been the best years of my life, and the worst, which is to say: a life well-lived. Here’s to another decade of living the dream ahead…under those same stars, in one LandCruiser or another. #livingthedream @carlislerogers @bushranger4x4gear @alvey_reels_australia @uniden australia @superior_sound_solutions @east.coast.auto.electrics @bfgoodrichtires @racksbrax @redarc_electronics @centurybatteries @oldmanemu4x4 @carbuilders @cruiserconsoles @engelaustralia @frontrunneraustralia @rapidpowerindustries @darcheoutdoorgear @expeditioncentre @arb4x423 hours ago -
