Yep absolutely not included them! But the biggest cost will be a range rover for the wife and Kids in the emigration trek south! Still 2 years to buy it all
As for you Aussies complimenting us poms on our durability it's cos we have Olympian spirit.... Can I say that or is it still raw? Yes we're a little bit like man with **** in peanut butter.
But every one of us dream of an outback tour and it's on your doorstep, lucky lucky so and so's

Yep, you Poms did well in the Olympics. We were shyyyte :-( Good on you for your success, you deserved it.
We do have it good for our ADV riding here. Never far from the bush in most places, however we do have millions of dumbarse roos, emus, pigs, wombats that seem determined to commit suicide by moto. I live about 10 miles out of town & there are often dead roos on the roadside even this close to town.
This makes the evening commute home a very cautious one indeed.
If you are planning emigrating this far south, forget the Rangie. In the outback it's pretty much all Toyota & a few Nissans. Nothing else lasts.
Went for a look at a Discovery 4 the other day. Very nice, but unfortunately not suited for Oz.
Dealer: "Are you planning to use it in the bush?"
Punter: "Yes..."
Dealer: "........."
