Description
This is 'Outback' Transportation, meaning vehicles used in the Australian Outback, i.e. back country. A Toyota pick-up truck, manual transmission, 4x4, manual hubs, snorkel and plenty of protection, front, back, and on the top. Looks are not important, but practicality is. This truck was parked in Broken Hill, New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Temperature that day was 100 F in the shade, problem was there was no shade.
Broken Hill, NSW, lies on the Indian Pacific Railroad which connects Sydney, NSW with Adelaide, South Australia and Perth, Western Australia. Broken Hill is the only stop between Sydney, NSW and Adelaide, South Australia. The trains stop here to take on water (for showers), linen for bed sheets and towels, prepared food or provisions to make meals, and allows passengers with vehicles to either load or off-load these vehicles. The stop usually lasts a couple hours allowing passengers some time to go sightseeing.

The best vehicle for a brutal land!

great capture
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
great shot
cool
I have always wanted to make a trip "down under". great capture
That Australian outback must be vast. Great rough truck shot.
Gotta have a good rugged truck to go swanning about the blue!
@SunriseGirl: Australia is vast. It is as big as the lower 48 States with only 5 major cities, 3 on the East Coast, one on the South Coast, and one on the West Coast. Not much in the interior, but during the train ride saw lots of Roohs (the big red Kangaroos) and Emus. No Camels, even though they are there, and no Dingoes. There is a 5,000 km long fence along the southern border of Queensland and the Northern Territory intended to keep Dingoes out of New South Wales and South Australia.
Great looking truck!
A typical aussie country vehicle, the front bars are for in case you hit a roo on the road. ☺
The perfect vehicle for roads less traveled, so to speak. I'm sure there's a story or three that could be told about this.
Thanks again for the photo and info!
