Hi from Cairns (The Very Wet Far North)
« on: April 09, 2011, 11:12:39 AM »
Have been lurking for a while know and thought I better say hello!!  Have an explorer (hence nickname) and recently brought a Market Direct CT. Looking forward to getting out and using it when the weather decides to fine up. My other passion is motorcycles. Own a Speedmaster and an older Thunderbird at the moment. Anyway...cheers for all the good info on here and looking forward to meeting some of you...

Gidday Exploder, welcome mate from another Cairns swagger (redlynch).
I see you are booked at Boonmoo at Easter.  We are booked there too, although speaking to them last week, they still can't get to most of the sites due to wet, so have a back-up plan at Mt Surprise.

 :cheers:

Hi Exploder and welcome to MySwag.

Also in Cairns in the northern beaches and also booked in at Boonmoo at Easter. Spoke to Laurelle the other day and things are looking pretty good for the long weekend as long as there's not too much more rain. Are we almost on the verge of having a MySwag get together.
