hi From mackay
« on: July 02, 2011, 09:25:27 PM »
hi folks

just thought i would give a quick intro

Just bought my first CT (Cheapie) and still waiting to arrive. so i have been busy trawling Aussie sites about camping in particular with a CT.
Been busy the last few night going through this site and have to say i'm impressed with the level of help and knowledge imparted by fellow members(some of which i will be using to mod the new camper trailer)

Well about me - From ol blighty originally, been here in Australia(mackay) for about 6 yrs and love the place. Keen camper and this is why we have progressed from tent to CT so that family can experince more of the place. My trade is IT and have been in IT since i left school in the mid 80's and now working for local council (note i do IT, i cant fix the roads here for any fellow mackay folk).

Well thats enough more now and looking forward to participating in forum

Adrian
