G'day from the Upper Hunter Valley.
« on: March 19, 2011, 05:21:41 PM »
Hi from the Hunter Valley, NSW. I've lurked around the forum for a while now, no use fighting it, I'm hooked. My wife and I and our two kids have been camping for years in tents until we got smashed with rain at Fraser Island, good news wet tent and beds meant I got a campertrailer.

We bought a new Trackabout Safari SV in November 2010 and tow it behind our 09 Triton which has been tricked up to do the job. This site has made the transition to CT camping easy!

See you out and about!

G'day Disco,

nice shot of the gear. Where abouts is that? Assume it's up your way somewhere? Looks like a good area to get away to.

Thanks Timneva,

The photo was taken near Moonan Brook, on the western side of the Barrington Tops NSW. Whould you believe that was the first outing for the CT, that was creek number 4 for that stretch of road, a top camping spot. :cheers:

Thanks Disco.

Will keep that up our sleeve as we're heading up to Barrington Tops in a few weeks and yet to decide exactly where we'll camp but will certainly look it up.

Cheers,
Tim
