G'day from a new member
« on: April 25, 2012, 11:46:50 AM »
I am intending to buy a CT in the next year or so. Currently considering an Aussie Swag or Kimberley Kamper.

I hope to use this site for research into buying considerations.

I retired nearly 5 years ago and have been taking one long trip a year since as well as shorter trips. Trips include the Simpson Desert, Kimberlies and Canning Stock Route to name a few.
This year we are off to the Binns Track in SA and the Garry Highway, Sandy Blight, Connie Sue and Ann Beadell tracks in WA. So far my wife and I have been using a tent but now we have completed a lot of the very remote, rugged tracks we are looking for a bit more comfort and convenience.

We have a manual diesel Land Cruiser 105 series set up for remote travel with 270L diesel tanks, 125L water capacity, rear dif lock, HF radio etc etc etc.  :cheers:
Allan

G'day Allan from one new member to another :)
I wish you luck in your research and purchase. We are in the final stages of making our decision on a purchase of our own and have used this forum extensivly (as a lurker) for my research as well.
