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.
