It seems like I only finished putting the last magazine together yesterday, and now I’m flat out trying to get this one ready to send to the printers in the next day or so. That’s the trouble with February, it’s a short month. The plus side of this for Peter & I is that it brings March closer and the arrival of some good friends of ours from the UK to stay with us for most of the month. They are up for a bit of camping & 4WD & we took them to Wilpena Pound last time they were over. Gordon drives a Defender 110 at work so we’ll see what the weather’s doing and head out. Peter and I spent a great Australia Day long weekend bird watching with Andrew & Sandy, and Jan & Mike camped at the Birds Australia, Gluepot Reserve. It’s about 50km north of Waikerie on dirt roads, but quite accessible with campers and small caravans. Well maintained long drops are provided, but you have to be self sufficient otherwise. There are some easy, well marked trails of varying lengths including ‘Whistler Walk’ which appears in the Trails SA booklet ‘40 Great South Australian Short Walks’ You don’t have to be a member of any bird club to go there, and we had the place to ourselves for most of the weekend, except for the friendly Wardens. Try www.gluepot.org/ for further information. In this issue: Wombat State Park, the discovery and history of a Perentie 6x6 Civilian, various letters, more on Melrose 2013 with another chance to register and save money, and the return of Turner’s Travels. Because of the arrival of our friends, Jan Butler is back in the magazine hot seat for the March addition, (she tells me she’s been missing the magazine!) Linda Hayward
Deadline for March magazine is 15th March. For the March Issue please contact: Jan Butler Email:

President’s Review Hi Everyone, Well here goes, another AGM done and dusted and thank you all for allowing me to be President. First of I like to thank John Pointon for being an excellent President over the last 1 ½ years. Thank you also Adrian Beech for your contributions to the committee and the club over the last few years’, and also so for your involvement of the very successful Melrose Motorkhana last year. As you will notice there are a few new names on the Committee list and I like to welcome Kin Roy and Daniel Simpson as new members. Thank you to Peter Small and ‘Trips’ Dave Read for taking on another term as committee members; and Andrew Humpage as Secretary. I had initially put my hand up for another term on the committee, but as it became evident that the Presidency would stay vacant, and after some lobbying I was instantly promoted. I believe it is in the club’s best interest to be able to show a name to that function, not so much for the internal workings of the club, but more important for the external club image. That about sums up the formalities, so now it is back to business with the next committee meeting due in an couple of days where Melrose will be the main topic. On that note there will be another working bee to Melrose on the weekend of 2nd - 3rd March which will be the last one before the event. There is still a bit to do and if you could lend a hand that would be appreciated. Many hands make light work and create more time to relax. We still need to finalize a track on Bartagunyah, and there is some maintenance to do on the trails track, so bring a shovel and pick if you have one.
Hans Wiemers
Secretary’s Review Hi Folks, Welcome to another year. I hope it will be a happy and successful one for you. With another year comes another committee, or bits of it anyway. So welcome to Daniel and Kin, and, of course, farewell to Adrian and John. As Secretary, I would particularly like to thank John for the orderly way he ran meetings – it makes it so much easier to take notes if only one person is talking at once and they are actually talking about the topic under discussion! As we look forward to 2013, planning for the Land Rover Show is well under way and Trips Dave has a number of new destinations on offer (although many are expeditions rather than weekends away, so suggestions for new venues closer to home would be welcomed by the workers amongst us!). However, apart from the LRS, it seems to me we are lacking a focus on the cars themselves, which is after all the reason we are a Land Rover club rather than just a 4WD club. BJ organised a technical day a couple of years ago (which Sandy went to but unfortunately I couldn’t attend) but since then, not a lot. It would be great if we had more such events organised by our more experienced members to pass on their extensive knowledge about Land Rovers to newer members. Just a thought. Best wishes for the new year,

Paul emailed me this letter after the article was published but due to problems with the LRRSA Website I did not receive it until the end of last year, and I thank Paul for his understanding in the delay of publishing it, Linda Dear Editor, I would like to draw your attention to the article in the August 2012 edition (Obsession; Vol 24; No. 8; August, 2012) reference fitting Warn locking hubs and I wish to make a number of observations. Firstly, the writer mentions cutting the tip off the axle to facilitate the fitting of the locking hub. This, in my opinion, is just plain stupidity, especially being close to the split pin hole, and as such - contrary to the writers comments - cutting with an angle grinder will definitely weaken that portion of the axle. I have fitted Warn locking hubs and when confronted with the fouling problem mentioned, had the local engineering shop make up spacers and purchased longer Allen key head bolts to suit. It might cost a bit more but it's a lot safer, especially if you intend driving hundreds of Km's from civilization. (I heard of a Nissan Patrol being rescued in the Simpson Desert and taken to Birdsville with the owner presented with an $1800 bill). Another point I wish to make is if purchasing a set of these wonderful hubs insist on having them taken apart in your presence or if not possible insist on a warranty. A friend of mine purchased a set from a Land Rover workshop (out Para Hills way) for $100 and was assured they had been stripped and checked and were in good condition. They had also just been nicely painted when he collected them. Being a mechanic and always a bit sceptical he stripped them when he got home and one had a broken locking ring and damaged splines. Unfortunately, because he had stripped them at home there was no warranty and he lost his money but fortunately a friend had some parts and he was able to make up a good set. Lastly, should you buy a vehicle with or without locking hubs, remove the axle covers and check the axles before you head off into the bush. Many years ago I was an RAA Patrol and received a call to a vehicle (a Series 3 Landy) bogged to the hilt in the sand at West Beach. The front drive shaft was spinning but there was no front wheel drive. I removed one of the front axle covers and found there was no axle and the other side was the same. The owner was a young fellow and this was his first FWD. It was an expensive test drive necessitating a FWD tow truck and the purchase of a set of axles. Luckily he was well above the high water line in the soft sand. Paul Wells, JP Dear Editor The January edition contains an item that really needs to be heeded by all travellers, and that is to carry a replacement fuel pump as well as a repair kit as, like the author says, Murphy finds the unwary and wreaks havoc at the most inopportune time and place. I carry a spare pump as well as an electric pump bought from Sprint for about $60 and, if you are like me and don't mind scrounging, visit one of the U Pullit yards and get yourself a few electric pumps (high and/or low pressure), fuel hose & clamps, fuses, switches, relays, light globes and nuts & bolts etc. I make a fun day of it and they sell coffee now so it's a top day out. I've even added spare voltage regulators to my kit and although I've only ever seen one Landy at a U Pullit yard, if you know a bit about electrics you can wire up a regulator to get yourself out of trouble. Come to think of it, it's possible to use a test lamp (or a globe holder with globe, cut out of a U Pullit wreck) as a regulator on quite a lot of vehicles, generator or alternator models. Paul Wells JP Dear Editor We are currently enjoying ourselves in Tasmania. The dreaded Murphy is still hassling us - had to replace a RH front hub seal and speedo cable in Hobart. Luckily had the help of a good mate who is an ex-fitter so no problems doing the job. We will be back in time for Melrose. Cheers, John Cooper and Jan Bond. Land Rover Register of SA Inc

Nominations are now open for the 2013 Award Nominations close at the end of October The Award will be presented at the November General Meeting Guidelines for the Award of the Wayne Reynolds Trophy The Wayne Reynolds Award is presented annually to allow the club to recognise the efforts of a particular member who has undertaken a project which involves significant effort to modify or restore a Land Rover vehicle. It is not a requirement that the trophy be awarded every year and if no nomination is received or the committee decides that, of the projects nominated, none reaches a sufficient standard, the trophy will not be awarded for that year. In order to ensure fairness and consistency in presenting the award, the following rules will guide the committee in making a decision to award the trophy:
The nominee must offer the project for consideration in the calendar year in which it was completed.
Nominations for the award will close at the October general meeting to give the committee sufficient time, prior to the November committee meeting where the final decision will be made, to read the project reports and consider their choice.
A nominee may enter a project only once for consideration (but a vehicle may be the subject of a number of separate projects over time and each project will be eligible for entry, but only project one per vehicle per year may be nominated).
Regrettably, as there is only one Trophy, only one project can be chosen and only one nominee can be declared outright winner of the award; however, the committee may choose to award “Highly Commended” certificates to recognise the ef forts of nominees who are not chosen as an outright winner.
Whilst the nominee should have completed the majority of the work himself, the use of contractors is acceptable, but the nominee must have acted as the project manager for the work and have exercised control over the outcome.
The award will be decided by a quorum of the full committee of the Land Rover Register of SA and the committee’s decision will be final.
The award will, from 2010, be made at the November general meeting, being the last meeting prior to Christmas
For a project to be nominated for the Wayne Reynolds Award it must constitute “significant work” ie it must be more than would be considered “normal maintenance” on a vehicle. It must:
Be beyond, for example, the effort required for a full engine or gearbox rebuild, Meet any applicable safety standards and be roadworthy within South Australia.
Suitable examples would be:
A ground-up vehicle restoration, Replacement of an engine or transmission system by another engine or transmission (differing from the factory fitment), Building from scratch and fitting a significant accessory as, for example, a power winch or fire pump.
The project need not be complete for it to be considered but it should be close to completion (say 90% complete) to give it a fair chance against other, fully complete projects.
The nominee must provide a report of the project (a diary record of progress will suffice) preferably with photos showing progress, as well as an indication of the number of hours spent on the project, to demonstrate the level of effort put into the project.
The nominee should be willing to have his project report published on the club web-site. Approved by LRRSA Committee, 12 March, 2010

Shane Tanner’s 50th & Wombat State Park, Victoria, A great 4x4 experience! We had been invited to Shane Tanner’s 50th birthday celebrations in Werribee, Vic. To those of you who do not know, Shane and his wife Deb have been long time friends of the family, and they joined our club quite some time ago. Shane’s birthday celebrations were to be held on Saturday 8th December at his home, we therefore planned to travel over to Werribee on the Friday to join in the festivities. Three Defenders departed Adelaide at 8.30 am taking a leisurely drive across to Halls Gap where Gerald & Wendy and ourselves were to camp up for the night, whilst Steven, Leonie and Tomas continued on to the hotel they had booked in Werribee. After a quiet night we were up early to take advantage of the cool morning to visit Halls Gap and the surrounding area before re-joining the main highway and heading to the caravan park at Maidstone where we were booked in. The weather was an atrocious 38c and blowing a gale. We set up camp and whilst Gerald & Wendy went off to visit relatives, we busied ourselves with some vehicle reorganisation. Gerald & Wendy arrived back at camp about 5pm. Maureen suggested a dip in the pool might be in order but in the 10 mins it took them to change the temperature had dropped from 38c down to 22c and a gale had blown up! Needless to say they were not gone long, returning to shower and prepare for the trip down to Werribee. The drive to Werribee was quite uneventful, good to see Victoria spends some tax revenue on new roads. On our travels a grey Defender crew cab passed us waving as they went by. We arrived at Shane and Debs to find them busy trying to organise parking for all the Land Rover’s that were arriving one after the other, including the crew cab Defender we had seen earlier. We all enjoyed a great evening, great food, great company, and best of all, Land Rover fanatics who like to talk about their passion for the marque. Sunday morning we were again up early. Shane had organised a trip to Wombat State Park, and we had arranged to meet at the BP Servo at 9.30a.m, arrived in time for a coffee before the rest of the convoy rocked up and we headed out. Kyle was trip leader in his Disco 2 with Shane running as tail end Charlie. Check out the photo’s (center pages) to see what a great driving experience we had, our trip leader kept us fully informed about things to see and watch out for, taking us to many old mine workings, historical buildings, natural springs and a drive along a disused railway line that was quite spectacular. We stopped for a break at one old gold mine where large bits of infrastructure still littered the hillside, giving us the opportunity to clamber down towards the creek to view the remnants of the sluices where the spoil was washed to give up its gold - a great spot to spend an hour. Later in the afternoon Kyle gave us the opportunity to take on some great descents and climbs, and drive through creek beds in the park, a fantastic afternoons driving before heading to meet the wives who had organised a barbeque at a local play area. Many thanks to Shane and Kyle for organising a great days off roading. Dave & Maureen Price

Acting on a phone tip-off the week before Christmas, we jumped into the Disco and headed for Port Adelaide. Our caller had spotted a 6x6 Land Rover for sale in one of the many industrial yards around the Port and told us to look near the new swing bridge. We arrived at the port about noon, spotted the 6x6, found access to the compound, and inspected the vehicle which was definitely in need of some care and attention. It proved quite difficult to trace the owner, but eventually managed to contact him and arrange a time for a test drive the following day. Arrived at Port Adelaide the following day, the owner of the 6x6 had already arrived and had the vehicle running. After a quick test drive we agreed a price and the vehicle was ours. Driving the Perentie 6x6 home was quite an experience with Salisbury axle gearing of 4.7:1 a highway speed above 90kph is difficult to maintain, the Isuzu revving at 3000rpm to achieve this. Also, despite having an odometer reading of only 109,000kms the steering wandered from side to side making keeping a straight line difficult. A quick call to Service SA to transfer ownership was the duty for the day before giving the beast a pressure wash. Many thanks go to Peter at Lincoln Land Rover, and Richard at REMLR without their help it would have been difficult to trace the vehicle history, and we have now passed this vehicle on to Peter.

Turner’s Travels Part 4 - Cape Keraudren to Ningaloo Station We stayed at Cape Keraudren for a week, during this back to 3 gear on some stretches as we were climbing time we had some of the strongest winds (up to 60 kph) I most of the way. have ever been under tent age. Just to make sure we were not blown into the sea, I roped down the Kamper to make sure we and the Kamper were there in the morning. Other times when the weather was good and we walked close to 1 km off shore at low tide, to the middle of the bay were there was a very large rocky structure about 150m long and 5m high, at high tide it was covered by the sea, at low tide you could walk around it.
The Lady in the caravan park was quite a character, asked if she had a powered site, $35 was the answer, no registering, no name, no address, no car rego, no number of people, no nothing. Only told to go and find a site that you are happy with, not even a have a nice day, or good bye. Did notice the money went in her purse, no record was made, found out later she looked after the park for free board and keep, looks as if she kept some for a retirement fund as well. The following day after we had decided to stay another day, the money went the same way, had to pay cash as the card machine was still down. The sea life and large shells were every where in the 30 cm deep water. It took Joy 3 days to be comfortable with the idea she could walk out and be quiet safe at low tide, spend 2 hours on the flats, and be safely back on shore before the tide turned. But once she had found her shells and seeing the sea life in the pools, I could not keep her out of the sea flats, even though I did cut crook about the quantity of Joy's collecting, it was me that one morning found 90% of what she kept, the balers, clams etc. In the meantime I was allowed to go fishing catching Mud Crabs and a fish or two.
On Wednesday morning the 4th of July we left, after saying good bye to our fellow campers, some who had been there for 3 months. On the way out we drove out through a fire which had been burning for 2 Days (was a little worried about very thick blinding smoke for 150m) out to the main road. Turning west towards Pt Headland, we travelled about 50km where we turned south towards Marble Bar. The strong winds on the nose had the car Page 14

So much for that, we are nearly back in the real world. We went out to the Marble Bar and a area were you could fossick, Joy spent a long time finding what she wanted, the car now needs low range to move off. I was in a bit of a grumpy mood because the rock collecting had stretched out and a trip out to the Gold Mine and many $'s later it was nearly mid afternoon and the internal worms were hungry.

Dampier topped the lot, average pay is $4,000 a week, think I may get a mature job there. After catching up on the washing, and the car and the droppings the friendly birds left on the Kamper we had a look at Dampier, The ships that are taking the iron ore overseas are massive, 100's of metres long, the trains that bring the ore in are kms long, over 240 cars each weighing 120 tonnes each, the total weight per train including engines is about 30,000t. While we were at Karratha we sat through a 20 minute video on Rio Tinto operations, so we could travel on their railway road, between Dampier and Tom Price.

After setting up our camp we toured around and checked out the park. Our camp area was well provided with toilets and camp kitchen with hot water and BBQ's. In the morning we set off for Tom Price, travelled on a very rough public road until we could get access to the rail road. At one spot we were stopped for road works, and the passage of a train over a crossing.

In the morning, Thursday the 12th went and saw the other Gorges. Handcock, Weano, Joffre, and Knox. The following morning having seen most of every thing we could we returned to Tom Price, topped up fuel and tucker shopping, drove to Parapurdoo about 100km away, having not been there before we had a look around the town and decided mining towns did not have a lot going for them. We stopped at a 24hr camp site off the road about 180km East of Nanutarra Road House. There are 20 or so of these stops with toilets and rubbish bins for travellers to stop and rest on the Main Roads throughout W.A. This was the first we had used and found it had around 12 campers staying the night. During the night 3 or 4 more cars pulled in as well. One couple had tried to book a Motel Room in Tom Price and found out the only one left was $400.00 a night, another example of prices jacked up because the Mining Companies will pay the asking price. They were told the price doubles when they are down to the last 2 rooms. After a quiet night, we said goodbye to several fellow campers we set off for Onslow about 300km away. Checked out the 2 parks and found the only site was a bull dust bowl in what was loving called the over flow area. Joy said no and that was that, asking around we were told good camping about 40km away could be had on the Ashburton River, for free. We left after lunch, Joy was impressed with area, there would have been some 100 other caravans and campers along a 5 km stretch of the River. We stayed Saturday and Sunday night. On Sunday we had a look around the Old Onslow township, and tried to catch a feed of fish, no luck only little ones and a under size mud crabs. Monday morning left a very pleasant river setting (some of the campers had been there several months) and set off for Ningaloo Station on the Indian Ocean about 100km south of Exmouth about 400km away. On the way we stopped at another road side area and had lunch under a shady area, supplied by the Main Roads of W.A. it is a pity it is not done by other states. The last 35 km into our camp site was something else, Joy was of the opinion it was the roughest track in Australia, I have since heard that some have taken 1 1/4 hours to travel it. The day before we arrived 2 cars broke down, a 20 foot boat trailer broke a coil spring and another chap turned around and refused to go the full distance. The coast (Jane Bay) is a very large bay stretching some 15 km, today we saw what was left of a young Whale calf after the sharks had been feeding for a day or so, I found the fishing slow, have not caught a thing so far, may see the 2 weeks out, or may not. Yesterday I managed to get the Mobile Phone working, even got the Internet going this afternoon on a small sand hill just off the beach. Not bad considering the Telecom Tower is nearly 50km away at Coral Bay. More next time. Ian Turner

Tow the Line - Do’s and Don’ts of Towing Re-printed with permission from RAA SA Motor Magazine, Summer 2012-13 Sourced by Dave Read FOLLOWING DISTANCE: If the total combined length of your car and any attached trailer or caravan is 7.5m or more, you must leave at least 60m between you and another long vehicle in front. If you’re in a signed road train area, the minimum distance is 200m. Penalty: $212 fine plus $60 Victims of Crime Levy and one demerit point. LIGHTS: Unless your trailer or caravan has operational taillights and is clearly visible, you can’t drive at night or when visibility is poor. Penalty: $121 fine plus $60 Victims of Crime Levy and one demerit point. PASSENGERS: No person can be in or on the trailer while you’re driving. All passengers must be seated and restrained properly in the cabin of your vehicle. Penalty: $210 fine plus $60 Victims of Crime Levy and one demerit point. VISION: Extra loads can affect your rear vision. Consider getting extensions for your side -view mirrors so you can see all traffic behind you, as well as in front. Tip: Also make sure you take more care to accelerate and brake smoothly, and to ease into turns, in order to reduce the sway of your load. THE MECHANICS: Pulling a load puts more stress on your vehicle; check your oil and coolant levels and tyre pressure before and during your trip. Tip: Towing is also more exhausting on the body and mind than ordinary driving, so try to avoid long trips in one go or driving without a break, and share the driving if possible. STOPPING ZONE: Unless you’re in a built-up area, it’s illegal to pull over in a long vehicle unless you stop on the shoulder of a road. In a built-up area, you can’t stop a long vehicle for more than an hour unless otherwise indicated. Penalty: $101 fine plus $60 Victims of Crime Levy and one demerit point. WEIGHTS: Before you set off, check if your car’s able to legally carry the weight of your trailer or caravan. SA law says the load can’t exceed the towing capacity of the vehicle or the towbar – as specified by the respective manufacturers. If either doesn’t list these specifications, contact RAA’s Technical Advisory Service on 8202 4689 for more details. Penalty: Maximum fine of $2500. PROTRUDING LOADS: Limits apply to how far items can protrude from the back or sides of your trailer or caravan. A load can’t stick out more that 15cm from the sides, and can’t exceed a total width of 2.5m. The total length of your vehicle and attachment can’t be more than 19m, and if any item sticks out more than 1.2m from the back of the trailer, you must have a flag attached during the day, or a red light that’s visible for 200m at night. Penalty: Page 24 $170 fine plus $60 Victims of Crime Levy.

News of the fuel left by LRRegSA Capricorn Fuel Dump - Canning Stock Route
This is an email I received from Les & Kay Battle. Re the 2011 Canning Trip when we left spare fuel at the Capricorn Fuel Dump. We wrote "Free Diesel Courtesy of the Land Rover Register of SA" on the drum. Nice to see there are some genuine people out there that appreciated our group gesture. Dave Price Hi David, My wife, Kay, and myself wish to thank your club for the very kind gesture. Our vehicle was the silver Toyota tray-back with silver fully enclosed canopy, travelling south in company with an early red Nissan patrol s/wagon, which passed your club at the flooded well 25 as we all were "bush bashing" through the countryside to get round the flooding. As we stopped at the turn-off to the fuel dump, three vehicles were in front of us, consequently, I obtained approximately 30 litres of diesel, for which I would like to contribute to the cost. If you would be so kind as to forward your banking details, I will EFT some money in appreciation. We would have had to pay for that quantity of fuel on top of our next refill, so we see no problems with paying for the fuel. Once again, thank you to you and your club for their kindness, much appreciated. One question, did the Freelander make it without too much trouble? Just re-read your reply, and we will be doing it again within the next couple of years, with good friends from Tasmania who have a 1999 crew cab Defender (shudder shudder!!!!!) (had to have a dig, ha,ha!!). Kay and I wish to traverse all of Len Beadell's tracks whilst we are able but we have a younger daughter in Germany and the elder daughter with two grandkids in Mandurah, WA, so every time we travel to WA we will try another route. Kay and I conducted tag along tours (lead and feed) in 2000 touring Kimberleys, Coburg Peninsular and three trips to Cape York, other than that, I worked with my father at Whitecar Coaches which my grandfather started in 1926, and now.......!!!!! retired, wow. Anytime in Atherton, please contact us. Regards Kay and Les Battle, Atherton, Adelaide
