Thanx guys, I am doing shopping tomorrow and will buy a few things to "age" the wood, or at least make it look like it is "aged"

Shopping was not as easy as I thought ;D ;D ;D my wife makes it look so easy :o :o could only get the AXE and immediately fitted it. The nice thing about it was the wooden handle is nice and dark so I am not so paranoid anymore :-[ hope to have the rest before we go on our first camping trip.

This is the correct Pick Axe head.  Buy a handle separately.

Don't buy a mattock unless you really need one.

or this one.

There was no handle listed on the Bunnings site, though I suppose any old handle would work.

The mattock might work better trying to dig yourself out?

a mattock is more practical

a pick is for mining

What is a Mattock, is it a brand or style? although I may have given the impression that I want a complete vehicle I will be using the tools at some stage and maybe even more than once  ;D ;D
Please I have to learn the difference, a few of the times I do struggle to understand what you are saying.

Look at the links and there pictures and description.

Its to do with the shapes of the head, the pick is as someone said for mining and breaking up solid ground. The mattock I think has a flat broader head, more space like.

I have never used a matttock before but looking at it, seems like it would be more useful for digging out of bogs and sand.

Mine does have the box on the drivers side.  It doesnt have any makers plate anywhere i can see.  It also has the Jerry can holder where the spare tyre is normally underneath

Thanks Boxy,  mine is an un-modified version with the inboard spare tyres and one underneath.
Can you post a picture of the storage box under the "Perentie-RFSV" Posting started
by Sixtie as a reference.
Then I'll know what it looks like.  thanks

How do you confuse an ex-military land rover owner?

Offer him a spade and a mattock, then tell him to take his pick.

Paraphrased from an irish joke, but thought it was relevant.

Won't happen. All good Perentie owners have their pick on the bonnet.
