Meet the Landy Rover Crew
The Team Behind the Adventure
The Star and The Matriarch - The Landy Herself
Born in 1960, joined the army, worked on a farmBorn in 1960 for the Australian Army, this Series 2 has spent decades serving the land. After years of rugged duty and a quiet retirement under a tree near Dalby (QLD), she underwent a total mechanical resurrection. She’s stubborn, leaks a little oil as a "territory marking" tactic, and has a top speed that encourages you to enjoy the scenery. Her current mission? To leave a small trail of oil whereever she goes and throw the odd mechanical tantrum in inconvenient places.

The Custodian - Paul
Restorer, Driver & NavigatorAfter too long working in IT, the keyboard and Cyber Security have been swapped for a set of spanners and a "what the heck" attitude (occasionally with bad words being shouted). He is the crazy one who attempted to rescue the old war veteran and get her back on the road again. His goal isn't just to fix her up; but to throw a career of IT infrastructure, budgets and Risk Management out the window and try to build a home on wheels capable of crossing continents. So far, so good!

Peanut the Cat
Chief Morale Officer (...and full of hot air)Meet Peanut, the world's most cooperative overlanding companion. A ginger PVC inflatable cat. Peanut is the ultimate travel partner: he's remarkably low-maintenance, never demands a litter box, and is extremely cheap on food. While most travelers stress over international pet passports, Peanut breezes through customs and immigration, as long as there aren't any sharp and pointy hazards nearby. He's the only member of the crew who remains completely calm during mechanical breakdowns and keeps smiling.
Overlanding With Peanut
The Camera Lady - Lucy
Director, Logistics & Peanut WranglerWhile the rest of us are busy driving or needing extra air blown in to them (Peanut that is), this 'behind the camera' crew member is the one actually keeping the wheels turning. On this journey, we have a Cinematographer, Health & Safety Coordinator, Social Media editor, and Chief Logistics Manager. From navigating international borders to ensuring Peanut doesn't get a puncture, she is the ultimate authority inside the car.
Our Mission
To prove that with enough patience, parts, and passion, a vehicle from 1960 can still be the ultimate gateway to the world's most remote corners.
