Revised INEOS Grenadier
The INEOS design has been revised. The Doc chose windows over panels on the rear. EDIT: The Doc was advised in early November the car is made and on its way to Australia.
The new motor
The Doc is most likely to buy the INEOS Grenadier to continue his adventures. It will look like this:
You can view a video of the Doc’s INEOS driving in Iceland here (virtual reality used).
The Adventure is on hold
The Doc’s Great Adventure is on hold while The Doc recovers from serious injuries from a recent car accident. The other driver, for reasons unknown to The Doc, drifted to his side of the road causing an offset head on collision. The combined impact speed was estimated between 150 and 180kph.
The Doc was only 20 kilomters away from his destination when the accident occurred. His first trip since the lockdown and after completing consulting work.
Thankfully the last thing the Nissan Patrol did was save his life, but the car is written off. Sadly, the other driver is deceased.
The Doc hopes his next trip will be to Newhaven, AWC’s central Australian sanctuary in May 2023.

2022, the year that was
The Doc’s main theme for images in 2022 was barks and then flowers as Spring arrived. Over 6,000 images were posted to the Atlas of Living Australia in 2022. Consulting work prevented any travel, even after many of the lock downs stopped.
The first trip for 2023 is booked, Foray with Friends at Dorrigo on the mid north Coast of NSW. The theme will be fungi’s and slime molds. There is some consulting work to finish at the end of January then The Doc has more flexibility, once the final work on the Patrol is finished in mid-January.
