Hello from Townsville!!
« on: March 13, 2012, 07:53:10 AM »
Hi Swaggers!!!

So I have been on here for a couple of weeks now and I have learnt more than I ever thought I would... So I thought I should introduce myself!!

About 3 months ago I bought a 2004 100 series V8 Landcruiser Kakadu (beats the old commodore I had  ;D) which inspired me to do more off road camping trips.. We used to go camping with tents a lot when we were living in Gladstone and now that my family and I have only moved to Townsville recently we are still figuring out where the good spots are!!

With a mad rush of blood to the head I said to the misses last month lets go to cape york mid year... which she agreed too!!  :cup:

I decided to ditch the tents (due to the fact that my partner and I have 5 kids living with us) and I purchased a second hand custom made off road camper trailer with addittional rooms that can be attached.

As a pre run we are going to Port Douglas at easter to try out the camper and see what extra (or less) gear we need for the cape!!

I am keen to meet other people from around Townsville who like their camping and if they want to catch up for a beer (or coffee) some time to plan any upcoming camping trips that would be great!!

I will get some pics uploaded of the camper and cruiser this weekend  ;D

 :cheers:

Richard

G'day & Welcome! And good on you, 5 kids and away you go.

I always wanted a Kakadu, thought it was the best model variant offered - all the fruit you want, without the stuff you don't, like SatNav.

G'day Victim,

Welcome and enjoy!!...... Make sure you do a trip out to Charters Towers. Some reports on here also about Bivouac Junction on the Burdekin, could be worth a look........ maybe head up the Lynd Highway and spend a night or two at Fletcher Creek........ Balgal Beach north of Townsville might be worth a look too, we once camped for a few nights at the council park right at the river mouth, good boat ramp, river fishing and a kiosk......

Haha.... I better be careful how I answer that!!!

It stems down from my old man who always said he was a victim of various things.... Then after my divorce I too became a victim  >:D although I am not a victim right now, well not of women anyway, I have found a good one!!!  ;D... anytime anything goes wrong I say to my partner I am a Victim, she says of what... I say life in general!!.... When I was joining myswag I said to her what user name do you think I should use.... She said well you might as well use Victim because that what you tell me you are!!! So I did!!

 :cheers:
