The Top End

Despite first impressions, not every single vehicle in the Northern Territory is a white Toyota four wheel drive.  Some residents of the Top End have dared to choose Toyota four wheels drives of other hues (gun metal grey seems to be a popular choice).   A brave few, if you can believe it, have even chosen four wheel drives that are not Toyotas (Nissans, Mitsubishis, Ford Rangers and even the odd Land Rover)!  One should never forget the back-packer / hippy trail head full o' zombies flotilla of clapped out wanna-be Kombis, either (usually badly dented ex-delivery vans that waft incense like Upper Middle Petrol Hound emits dog-farts).   There is even a handful of cars - belonging to blow-ins, probably - that aren't actually four wheel drives or mobile bong-hovels (yes, Hyundai's reach is vast).   And then there's the classic car fraternity ...  You can only imagine UMPH's delight when he discovered that his Darwinian excursion coincided with the Top End
