Hello from Urbenville
« on: June 06, 2012, 05:21:32 PM »
New to site, live northern NSW have 2000 standard Landcrusier 4.2 after market TD and a 1997 dual cab rodeo 2.8 TD for vehicles and a Offroad camper trailer. have been out to Innamincka in 2009 and just a few weekenders here and there. Like most would like to do another big trip but time and $'s are an issue. Make the most and do some weekends not far from home.

Cheers

G'day Brett P65,

To MySwag.
A nice part of the state, each year at Easter we spend time at Levuka.
It's only a couple of hours up the Summerland H/way for us.
Plenty of great info here to help with mods on the camper or planning a trip or two.
Happy & Safe travels.
 :cheers:

Hairs, we are only 7kms from Levuka been here about 5years small property but a great part of the country to call home.

BigJules, how long ago did you know a bloke by the name of Rod Moreton. I have been done that way on my bike a couple of times.
