The DVD goes for nearly 3 hrs. I was going to get signed copies from the stars but that was extra.

It was a great trip. Yes preparation is everything as you never know what the next crossing is going to be like.

For the number of cars and campers that went up and the small amount of damage sustained on campers it was pretty good.

I am glad you enjoyed it and also a big thank you to JK for the hours spent getting the DVD done. :cup:

Excellent work to both the collaborators, commentators, and camera crew!  I'm watching that Luxie do things easily (well mostly) so that's good!!  About time a "real world" version of those tele shows was made ... less the endless advertising.  Another 1.5 hrs to go!!

Watched mine last night.

If that dosnt inspire anyone to get out there, then nothing will.

And isnt it nice to watch a dvd like this without the loud crappy music or stupid editing. Much rather listen to the car, the people, the bush, the birds, you get what I mean.

Thanks McGirr and everyone involved, fantastic effort.

Thanks McGirr, I received my copy yesterday.  Just have to make some time now to watch it, although with kids on school holidays and having already seen it twice before I don't think I am in as much hurry as others.  And thanks again for making the time to get copies made and arranging postage etc.

A BIG, BIG thank-you really should also go to JK and his family.  Firstly for taking the time to capture the great adventure and then the hours and hours spent editing and making the movie that it is today.  I'm sure he didn't set out with the idea that his footage would go into dozens of loungerooms so thanks JK for sharing for yours, Julie's and Reece's Cape York adventures.  :cup:

Cheers
Karen

Thank Karen, your right about not expecting the DVD to go global but I think I edited out all the colorfull language while still keeping the realistic feel for the trip  ;D . I hope everyone enjoys the vid and thanks to Mr McGirr for the time spent on mass production,

Cheers  :cheers:

Yeah c'mon you lot.  Pay the Man!  

It's worth it just to see all the bangs, and the dings, and the buggers, and there's dust, and bikini's, and beer, and birthdays, and dust, and water, and mud, and dust, and bikini's, and kitchens, and 4wd's, and camper trailers!

We loved it!

Who has not recieved their DVD as highlighted below.

I know steve and viv should get theirs soon and richo36 has sent me a pm re his details and I have just received his payment. Only those who have not received thier dvd let me know.

This way I can assess what I have left over as some members who advised they want one have until the end of the week to advise me otherwise I will offer other members a chance to get one.

A little annoyed from those members who said yes and then have not had the courtesy to contact me to advise otherwise.

Please advise if you have not received the dvd. Campertraileraust DVD has been posted. I have fullscales's and Teabags here which they will pick up.

That leaves me with 5 over as some members do not want them. I just want to make sure all members who paid have received theirs first before I offer them to other members.
