The Toorak Tractor and a Junko
Taking the voted “least likely to make it” RV combo around Australia
By way of Introduction
This is the accidental title to a round Australia, 5-7 year sojourn for a unlikely couple of newbie nomads. Only AFTER purchasing our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2013 Jayco Sterling (which is a story in itself), did we become aware that, we had in our possession the runts of the touring litter, the black sheep of the 4WD/caravan family, so to speak.
The terms “Toorak Tractor†and “Junko†are not our own. They are apparently long established in the lexicon of caravaners, more so those hardened 4WD types – you know the ones. Seven aerials on the bulbar, enough spotlights to light up a small country town, enough galvanised steel plate on the van that, on a sunny day, they can blind the pilots of passing airplanes. And of course, underneath, more coiled springs than a mattress
We’re going to find out if they’re right or not. Could take a while.so……in the meantime, let’s get this adventure started.
