Camels by the roadside in the desert of Afghanistan. Taken in 1974 during my round the world overland trip.
Pacific National loco NR57, in National Rail Corporation "SeaTrain" blue livery at Belair with the Melbourne-bound Overland. Morning of 31 January 2007.
A sign on the observation porch at the back of a car on the Overlander that traverses the volcanic plain between Auckland and Wellington, NZ. Can someone possibly have believed the train would be stopped so sunglasses or a camera could be retrieved at some point?
This one is going up on my wall one day. It's a handheld pano of 12 or so vertical shots across the plains looking toward several of the ranges south from windemere. To the right is Mt Ossa and the Acropolis beyond, Mt Oakleigh's outline is in the centre and far off to the left lies the walls of Jerusalem. It doesn't project well on flick but the original file is over 100mb lol - too big to upload ;P If interested, view in original size for the squashed details !
For Overlanding (the arrangement of camping and off-roading), the chief benefit of a rooftop tent is that you can set up camp almost anywhere.
overland and county malmesbury csu 917 and csu 918 formerly xja 566L . 918 was a daimler fleetline CRG6LXB with northern counties H43/32F body.by powers of observation i think 917 is the same!

This drawing was named after a song I like by Moby
The rough-road-capable Moby 1 teardrop trailer at the 2013 Overland Expo. Fully equipped kitchen in the rear, spacious bed up front. Kids sleep in the roof tent.
The Overland Express ran from Melbourne to Adelaide. I travelled on it in the early 1950s when it was brand new as a streamliner. It was an American designed sleeping express built in the South Australian Railways Islington Workshops, Adelaide. And what a capable workshops it was at that – building very large steam locomotives. Then in the early 1950s, it built the extraordinary 900 Class diesel electric electromotive looked like a cross between EMD E-8 and the ALCO PAs. They used English Electric engines and the last two to survive are, as I write this, fast rusting away into oblivion.
My youngest son became fascinated by this express and we rode on it several times.
So on this particular day, around 2009 or so, (that is the thing with growing old, you can remember perfectly well in detail the day you first went to the beach, age about 4 or 5 but what exact year it was when I last drove to Adelaide I wouldn't have a clue) anyway I was driving along when down the track coming towards me was my son's favorite express train – The Overland. But I was wrong. It wasn't coming down the track at all. It was actually stopped in the middle of nowhere. It remained stationary for as long as was necessary for me to take these photographs and then right on cue, when I had finished it moved off.
What it was all about I don't know but can only assume that perhaps God is an Overland enthusiast as well and arranged it all.
Incidentally it is only a mere shadow of how it used to be, now just a mixture of coaches from all over the place.
