What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Jeezz I really need to visit Australia to get a understanding of the size.

Draw a line from the top of Finland to about the end of Italy, and then from western Spain to the eastern end of Ukraine and make that a box. That’s about the size of it.

 

[DaveB]

Surprisingly Australia is even bigger than Texas.
So is Western Australia
We have cattle stations (ranches) that are larger than some countries.

 

[Rab]

We have more rain than Australia.

Jeezz I really need to visit Australia to get a understanding of the size.

In two weeks I will do a trip of about 4-5000kms over just over 2 weeks. It will cover part of the North and mid West of one State and part of the South and mid West of another state. It will involve at least 3 days of @ 800-1000km drives in a day. About 10 days of it will be based in two different places and just day trips so the majority of those kms will be done over about 4-5 days.

That's the site I used.
Here's India in red, Greenland in Green and Germany in blue.

Aargh, so that’s why there’s so many Indians in Fiji

Yep
One minute they were at home with family having dinenr.
The next I dragged the whole country down to the pacific ocean.
Just think India is a lot smaller than Australia and they have 1.4 BILLION people compared to our 26 Million.

And they actually make stuff - whilst we sip lattes , eat more than we need & send our old metal over there so they can make more stuff to send here.
No wonder the world is doomed!

Since the genius who designed the factory rubber floor mats failed to cover the one spot where your foot actually rests.... I fixed it.

a) thats very loose rounding up from a man of your calibre
b) it's probably gone up another 57,002 since you typed that

To put things into perspective , in 1800 India had about 169 million folk.
Australia had a few thousand . And we know what white man did to them.

I have had the software update including the head-unit firmware update carried out today. The process took approx 2.5 hours and everything appears to be fine. I wasn't getting any bings/bongs previously and only one message regarding the e-Call malfunction which has now disappeared.

It is now possible to toggle the passenger airbag on and off. I have yet to discover any other gains resultant on the updates.

Mate.. Depends on who you talk to the indigenous folk came her/were here for 60,000 to 100,000 years before white man.
empharsis (two Ronnies) that they came here at some time too.
In all that time they didn't build a single road, highway, airport, rail line or port.
They had their chance and blew it.

What did we do today? The wife and I are out camping with our Grenadier and hybrid off-road camper. Pics were taken just a few minutes around 8:15pm local. Super bright moon tonight. Just outside the Sundown National Park on the Queensland and NSW border, Australia.
