Cool Picture. Did not see a kangaroo in New Zealand...wish I had!Mustangs may not be used as daily drivers as much as they are in the USA Tom. You might see more on the weekend, or if you were down here in Melbourne, the home of Ford Australia, home of the Australian Grand Prix, etc.
This is a typical scene in the Australian bush (not really!)
Yes, I saw a few of those.... they looked like BIG el caminos.Have fun - I was surprised to see all the el camino type cars like the Holden UTE SS. There's a Ford version too but I don't recall the name. In the outback, Toyota snorkled pickups are the norm. Enjoy - NZ is amazing.
Now there is the money shot!Mustangs may not be used as daily drivers as much as they are in the USA Tom. You might see more on the weekend, or if you were down here in Melbourne, the home of Ford Australia, home of the Australian Grand Prix, etc.

It is a wallaby rather than a kangaroo, being smaller and shorter legs than a kangaroo. I got nearly this close to one on the very first day I drove my new Mustang last week. Always a bit scary, because than can jump right out in front of the car.Cool Picture. Did not see a kangaroo in New Zealand...wish I had!
Did not know the difference, thanks for clearing that up.It is a wallaby rather than a kangaroo, being smaller and shorter legs than a kangaroo.

New Zealand does not have kangaroos but a couple of small varieties of wallabies are found there in the wild as an introduced pest species.Cool Picture. Did not see a kangaroo in New Zealand...wish I had!
Haha, budgie smugglers.A little more info about the above screen shot....
I did some research and found it is for a worthy cause. It is a car raffle to raise money for the Australian troops who suffer from PTSD and combat related injuries.
I am a fellow vet and I will look into a donation. However the dude in the panties in the pic has to go, lol.
There's quite a few of those in the GT500 area ...[...] introduced pest species.
Cobra badge on an eleanor?So I guess I'm getting Australlian advertising on my phone now that I am here. Ok..... so what's wrong with this picture?
Yes, I understand.Tom
if you want to see mustangs and understand the Australian scene better. You should go see the local Tickford’s shop or Harrod spec R. There are some facebook groups for s550 mustangs around the country with active members that do a variety of drives, drag events, track days.
if you go to melbourne i think you will find more mustang shops. You will not find many mustangs in the CBD (central business district)
Also you will find that as Australia is a different country with its own unique way of doing things this leads to different take on mustangs and what they do with them. Since shelby’s are not sold from ford, it is more acceptable to have cobra and Shelby cues On regular mustangs
you will find rousch and shelby companies licensed to implement the packages in australia
enjoy. I have enjoyed seeing a different take on my Canadian Approach to mustangs
