This fantastic Land Cruiser promotional video from the early 1980s, called Getting Through, demonstrates various driving skills filmed throughout Australia. It features footage from sandy beaches to snowy mountain tops and covers the following:
Rocky terrain
River crossings
Beach and dune driving
Winch anchoring
Snow driving
The tips and techniques (many of which were new to me), and animated illustrations are excellent. The vintage TV-detective-show soundtrack and mustaches are hilarious.
Very informative, very entertaining, and highly recommended.
Part 2 is below.
