  • May 2016 - Dec 2016

  The decision to move back to New Zealand prompted us to put our dream of circumnavigating Australia in our 1990 Landcruiser Troopcarrier into Action. The two and a half years of rebuilding and kitting out the vehicle from scratch in the back yard allowed us to survive in the remotest of places around Australia for a solid seven and a half months. www.entroopyexpeditions.com The decision to move back to New Zealand prompted us to put our dream of circumnavigating Australia in our 1990 Landcruiser Troopcarrier into Action.
