Brian, although the name of a Holden 4x4, "jackaroo" primarily is the name given to Australian "cowboys". They work on stations (ranches) in the outback. I hope this helps.
Help it does. I'm jut glad over here I the Philippines we don't even have gummy bears let alone drop bears.
Used to know a fellow who helped pay the bills by guiding in Northern British Columbia Canada. He had a story or two to tell about hunting Grizzlies. But they seem to pale next to the dreaded drop-bear.
Hey Ron,
That's terrible news. I did a quick search and found this 2003 Frontera for $4500 in Fairfield. I guess then yours could be used for spares down the track.
Good luck mate
Just waiting for a couple of friends to come back with any finds for you Ron. I don't expect to hear from them until Saturday afternoon sometime. though... here's hoping.

Start walking to the shops.
Let's see... if you leave at sunrise you should be home by sunset.
Just don't get any cold stuff.
I feel a clip over the ear coming my way..
On a serious note..
I'm so sorry to hear what's happened with your beloved and trusty car and I hope & pray it will get sorted out very soon Mr Ron.

Suzy,don't you think I have done enough walking for a little while
I would need a very long arm or some form of transport to get to you to give you a clip over the ear
Thanks for the best wishes

The most money I have ever paid out in car repairs in my life
This car has to last me looooong time now
Happy driving Ron, it sure must be a great feeling to get behind the wheel after a month, esp. as you are so isolated where you live. Now that Rodeo ad. song is stuck in my head. lalala..one ton Rodeo lalala
