Another Newbie
« on: May 25, 2011, 04:38:03 PM »
Hi all, I'm Ian and my wife, Rhonda, and our 2 Border Collies love getting out & about from our base in Brisbane. We've got a Patrol 4.2TDi towing an Ultimate trailer. I've found this forum has heaps of good info and sounds like most people enjoy getting away from the cities like us.  We've done a bit of 4WDriving and tenting across the Simpson, Arnhem Land, Central Australia and the Victorian High Country and still haven't made up our minds which area we like best...it's all so different!  Have only recently acquired the trailer so still getting used to the convenience & comfort but don't think we'll be going back to the tent anytime soon! Anyway, safe travelling to everyone and enjoy the great outdoors.

G'day from the tropics Ian & Rhonda and welcome to Myswag.
Hubby and I are recent camper trailer owners after many years of tenting and just love it. 
About to take off for another weekend - and it's not a long one either - just so easy with the ct always packed ready to go.
I'm sure you'll enjoy yours as much as we do ours.
Have fun,
Cheers
Sharyn  :D
