Strong winds may have been blowing at the time of the accident but let's be clear. They didn't cause the accident!

It was either failures in design or failures in the construction process that resulted in the fall.

We took the Land Rover Defender 90 on a road trip to the alpine village of Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains approximately 500km south of Sydney. You might hold fond memories of the old Defender (as do we), but let us be the first to say that while it might look a little softer and less boxy on the outside, the new Defender still holds enough of the quirks, charms, and power to remind you it’s still a proper off-road vehicle. #landrover #landroverdefender90 #thredbo https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cq1epPoouWN/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Impressive Andy Blair riding an old GT Zaskar hard tail in men’s XC Nationals. Even more respect if he’s using the original Mag21 Rock Shox forks. #XCNationals #mtb #Thredbo #blownseal

Almost a week in #thredbo, and we leave in the morning. Haven’t thought about work once, what a cracker of a break.
92km of riding, and 32km of hiking, all up.

It golly gee I am having a lot of fun.

Cheers. We’re all very weary after a several very active days, I’m giving the kids a rest afternoon before we tackle the summit walk tomorrow

This walk - Dead Horse Gap from Eagles Nest - was sensational.

That’s enough for today, my body is starting to get quite weary, and I don’t need to attack sketchy trails when tired. But I’ve had a ball today, I’m having a beer, and then I’ll shower and treat myself to a steak dinner for my solo night. #thredbo #funthough
