And yes Hello all from another Cairns Newbie!
« on: December 16, 2010, 11:56:57 PM »
Well hello all, near and far, didn't realize there are so many locals on here....Am only just getting serious about the CT thing but always been a camper.
Have to be when you grow up in this bloody great country and beaut area up north.
Love the Cape and Gulf but have only ever done it for work and think next time will be a lot more enjoyable at a steadier pace.
Anyhow tis late and the pillow is calling, look forward to chatting and meeting fellow myswaggers over the coming years.
Cheers all.
Doug  :cheers:

Hey Paul, how's the big city treating you mate.
Yep tis me, looks like we just might be the proud owners of one of Johnny Trackabouts creations.
Am so excited, time to start living life again and not slaving my life away.

 :D What can I say... about time you joined in thought I'd mentioned this place long ago  :angel:
Not rubbishing our CT but I think you've done well with a trackabout. If you want to check out how things are set up on ours just yell and I'll drop it around, might stop the brakes rusting up  :D

Coal ran out Thursday day shift so no night run, got back really early Friday morn the motel room walls were closing in.
Might see you before Chrissy

Well Paul it's official, picked up the trackabout today from Rockman, couldn't have asked for a better chrissy present.
Have started to give it the Dougie treatment already, just can't wait for the rain to Ping Off for a few days now and get out and try her out.
