I guesss the only difference is we are taking a local Melbourne built Ex Army Inter 4X4 ,That saw active service in Vietnam and at this stage stopping in beijing ,but if all is well we intend on venturing further . Love any advice or suggestions from people and thanks for more inspiration Cheers Keith Hi, My son and I are about to drive to Beijing something we have been quietly planning for some time and we are leaving in august ,so started to tell people of our plans , To my surprise many people said Look at this trip so Wow I’ve found it now .

I am a fellow 120 Series Prado owner (2003 model manual diesel) and a proud one at that too! Mine hasn't got the stories yours has but it did take on a camel last year only a few weeks after I bought it and it came out tops! Reckon it's the only Prado (and one of only few vehicles!)in the country that can say it took on a camel and lived to tell the tale! To all those that don't like Prados, read this blog and weep! Story of a little Prado that could! Cheers YAY Go the Prado! I am a fellow 120 Series Prado owner (2003 model manual diesel) and a proud one at that too!

Xian in northern China is fantastic, particularly the Terracotta Warriors displays But 4 all of u still back in Oz .... we dont know how lucky we are compared with 3rd world nations and the constant battle 4 survival Well, Jackie Faine we dragged out your 2005 Morocco 2-pager from The Age and folo-d the path to Essaouira Fairly disappointing we thought compared with Fes and Marrakech
