Title: Unimog! Just Wow!
Post by: ozstickman on May 18, 2014, 01:33:31 PM
While we were at waterpark creek this weekend this thing rolled in! Unreal! It was driven from Germany to Australia via Russia and of course boated from Asia to Northern Australia.

Looks way too tall.  You'd hit every overhanging branch on every track from here to woop woop.

Spotted at Johanna (near 12 apostles) 2 months ago. Driven by a grumpy swiss couple....  going by the map on the door it has been driven around the planet's crust a lot... (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/18/zu3ygu4u.jpg)

Old mate said only two things bother him, trees and getting bogged. He has two 20000lb winches. One on the front and one on the back.

There ya go. The current owners are not the ones that travelled all over the world. They are the most recent owners.
