Abstract

The Land-Rover has had a profound and long lasting effect on many aspects of postwar development in Australia over the past fifty years. In many ways it was a form of technology ideally suited to the activities and conditions of the time. This paper provides an overview of the origins and local history of the marque in the earlier part of the period, with emphasis on the diversity of roles in which it served.
