Australia Compared185 viewsJust so that others get some idea of the magnitude of the Canning Stock Route (see RichardK's gallery). It is 2000 kilometres on unsealed roads. On top of that is the journey on the sealed roads from and to home. Japan is only a couple of thousand kilometres from top to bottom.

RADAR Detector on dash174 viewsMany (read lots) cars and trucks in Japan had a RADAR detector visible on the dash but I did not see one Police car on the highways in three weeks of travel by bus, taxi, or train.

Huh?156 viewsPhoto that informs drivers that there are speed limits (50km/h) in built-up areas of Queensland. Sign was about the size of the car and traffic on this road was minimal. Wondered if the powers that be had only one size sign and whether there was a procedure that stated that the sign must be placed so that you couldn't miss seeing it as you entered this part of Queensland.05 May 2006

MS Excel chart of fuel usage in TDV6 first 3 months of ownership200 viewsReason for distortion at beginning is not known - average so far is 11.55l/100k (25.09mpg) for the 6 199k travelled. The fuel usage 'bumps' correspond with the city driving although they did mirror the cost for a while! A copy of the spreadsheet (105kb) that shows MPG and l/100k (but not miles) is available for the asking - just PM me.03 May 2006

TDv6 Oil dip stick275 viewsPhoto shows oil level on rear stick (cleaned front stick). Note that diesel oil when fresh may not be black like the sample shown (car had travelled 5 000km on delivery oil). You can see small indentations in both sticks. This is where I observe the current oil level. Note also the two arrows at either end of the red plastic indicators showing lower and upper limits (I do not know what the red ball is for however - it just may be a guide.)24 Apr 2006

Chief instructor (left) and another instructor explaining water crossings200 viewsWhilst no one tested the waters this time (they did last week with another group) you can just see the stick floating in the water (near second instructor's right elbow).

Last D3 through the deep crossing228 viewsThe water was stirred up by this time (didn't start off too clean due to heavy rains in the previous week) water was between 500 and 600mm deep depending on where the driver crossed. Away from the tree was slightly deeper but most drivers chose that line to be well clear of the tree.04 Apr 2006
