Hey all, I have made a few post here and there I thought I would introduce myself.

I'm Gordon and my Partner is Darren, and we have an 8 year Beagle (Leo) We are from Wynnum "Bay side Brisbane".  We have been camping and 4x4ing for the last 10+ years, just dont get the chance to get out often due to work.

Our best and longest trip so far was the 3 corners of Queensland, which was fantastic, best part of the world. We used a Roof Top Tent (Which I am looking to sell if anyone is interested) for that trip.

We own an old Holden Frontera which we have set up for touring... its a great old truck.

We have just placed an order on a Hard Floor Camper from Aussie Campers and Trailers.... (see other post), so we are about to enter the world of camper trailers...

Welcome and enjoy the new adventures of owning a camper trailer.  We all wish for more time getting out and about I find the camper trailer makes that a bit easier.

Hi guy's, hopefully the wait not that long before you get your CT. Fraser Island just up the road from you guys, very jealous. I had a great time there camping for a week many years ago. One of the highlights and a little scary was being chased by a goanna across the beach then into the water. Didn't know the buggers could swim. Floating down Ely creek was also fantastic.
Cheers

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, Looking forward to getting the camper...

Fraser Is is a great place, been a few times, just not for the last few years... the Camper should make it little more comfortable...
