One week to get our Land Rover Defender AUSTRALIA READY! What makes a good overland vehicle for Australia according to you?
This week, while we complete all of the legal requirements to have the Albatross registered to drive (fly) on Australian roads and tracks, we mainly focus on completing a series of awesome upgrades on the camper side of the vehicle as well as maintenances to have the most reliable and comfortable set-up as we head North to start the lap of Australia.
For this Albatross 3.0 new set-up, we are supported by awesome partners most of which we have been travelling with since the beginning of our journey two years ago. Check them out is you are interested in some of the products displayed in the video:
🧰 Euro 4x4 Parts : For spare parts and more, anytime and anywhere around the world, Euro 4x4 Parts always have our backs! Check out their catalogue of over 70 000 parts: www.euro4x4parts.com/fr?...
🛠️ Rough Parts: Our new gullwing and side stand-up table (MaxTrax Recovery carriere) we have been using for 2 years are Rough Parts items. Check out their Land rover high quality accessories and get 5% OFF using this code: RPNEXTM23 : www.rough-parts.com/en/home
💺 Scheel-man: Our new orthopedically designed seats come straight from Germany but no worries, they ship everywhere. After two years on bad seats we are thrilled about this upgrade, check out the Scheel-mann website to see more: scheelmannaustralia.com.au/

Thank you Brad ‪@bramafilm‬ for your help in letting us use the workshop (and fixing our window at the meet-up).
Next week we go North!!!
Until then, take care!

That's quite the upgrade for Albatross, aka Albo 3.0. You guys did so much in such a short time. Good planning and organization is the key obviously. Well done. Can't wait to see where you take us. Also, was thinking while watching this, how long are you planning on staying in Australia? You have a lot of ground, miles to cover and locations to see. As the saying goes... GET SET, (DONE), READY (DONE), and GOOOO.........! Have fun, stay safe, and keep well!

Welcome to Oz, but the storage bag on your bonnet may be illegal in some Australian states, bonnet protrusions ( which the bag is ) are illegal because they will potentially injure pedestrians, it also looks like it may block the drivers view, police here are pretty strict with those things. Check with registration office. Otherwise have fun.

PLease be sure you have the top level roadside assistance. A recovery from the middle of the country to a city on the coast could cost you $10,000. Also be sure you carry 50lt of water and top it up every time you get fuel. Oh, and one last thing, make sure you have a steel mesh stone guard in front of the radiator.

Very very good point. Diesel and water range is a challenge in Australia. At the moment we carry 115 liters of water and 115 liters of diesel. Which is already not too bad. But surely we will need to be super careful and find great water point whenever possible 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 who knows maybe meet amazing people refilling water 😁😉

Hahahahaha love the vibe. Honestly it was mainly because we arrived in a country where we could get stuff shipped. We often laugh saying the car will come back newer than when we left two years ago. And 150 cans of beer is not bad, hydrates and feeds at the same time! Efficient

Question..would the Defender have been driven away from customs with fresh oils already in it? It would have to have been shipped with all oils removed, or is that not the case for Australian imports?
@NextMeridianExpedition
@NextMeridianExpedition 2 месяца назад
No we could keep the oils in! Just decided to do the change in Australia cause when we were in Argentina it was hard to get the right oils for decent prices

Am I missing something obvious ? Or am I missing something that is unique to Australia ? I fully understand (and support) the requirement for a roadworthy inspection - none of us are enamored of the idea of a "rolling wreck" unleashed in the unsuspecting public. HOWEVER.....WHY were you forced to spend 2.5 hours at the Department of Transport ? You Have: * Valid (non-expired) French Number Plates - Yes ? * Valid (non-expired) French Rego - Yes ? * Valid (non-expired) Proof of ownership - Yes ? * Valid (non-expired) Carnet de Passage - Yes ? * Valid (non-expired) International Driving Permit - Yes ? * Valid (non-expired) Insurance - Yes ?

Hey Charlie, I think it is Australia s way to verify all those aspects and make sure you pay the mandatory road insurance . Without the paper of the DOt we would be illegal here. But it is true it is the first country of this journey where we had to do this
