No-one actually wants an internal combustion engine, the boom boom chugga chugga with their explosions, belching fumes, whirring parts, squirting lubricants etc. I can imagine the museum where the kids of the future will be staring at a Land Cruiser ... Read More

@bigpearl Alas the 8m figure, commonly quoted by the Australian tourism industry, is total foreign arrivals, not tourists. Tourists are estimated around half that. But Australia is a long way from anywhere, requires extensive domestic travel to ... Read More
