Interesting question.
I have an emergency outback incident survival kit, no really. Includes defibrillator, needles, wound stiching kit, loads of bandages, UHF radio and loads of other gear I need to get my head around. Guess I could with going on a first aid course to make it useful.
Also hold plenty of water, dried meal packs and energy bars. But then the car itself is unlike the majority of company vehicles I have had in the past, had optioned, under body bash plates, stainless steel front end bull-bars (massive) and a Roo Shoo!
Just moved up in to a new role overseeing a large part of rural New South Wales not just Sydney so logical I guess, can't wait to put it to use for it primary purpose, me going trail bashing at the weekends!

A different world down under - a former colleague went to work in rural Australia. One of his tasks was doing autopsies for the Coroner (or their Aus equivalent), a few of which were people who had crashed their light aircraft. The way he got there?

))))))))On reflection, I suppose it's not that surprising, just a reflection of the scale of the country - most of us drive to work here but, famously (and subject of some controversy) Lang Hancock was said to have discovered the immense Pilbara iron ore deposits - out of which our cars may well have been made - when flying.
Good point on the light aircraft, although what they qualify as a 'pilot' over here would make me think twice. I'll stick with the Land Cruiser thanks, although parking it in some of the comically small spaces in the City can be a ball-ache.

Cobham is rather green.In the actual boot - shopping bags. In the wheel well, a pair of overalls and gloves so I don't get covered in sh*t if I change a wheel, a basic toolkit, a decent socket for the wheels and a breaker bar to replace the crappy wrench that just bent when I tried it. Bulbs, 1L oil, jump leads, towrope.
If all else fails: just the wheel changing kit and the jump leads. I think I've needed jump leads more often than a spare wheel, and certainly more than hand tools or spare oil.
