We're getting two Camfaro 12v Sorroco fans and of course our new Aussie Swag camper, although she won't be here until April.

Scott and I have just booked the Triton in for a dual battery system, canopy and new UHF. That's our xmas present to each other financed by the tax man. The daughter and her boyfriend are getting a double swag so they will stop pinching ours, and some gear for their new home. The 21 year old son is the problem - I haven't got a clue what to buy him  ???

You've obviously met my son.  I'm sure he'd love unwrapping that one.  :-[

We're having a brickie coming around to build in our new stainless steel BBQ with hood.  That's our pressie to each other.  No need for anything else. BBQ's all year long (when we're not away camping).

Christmas came early. The BBQ is good to go. What do you think?

Nice BBQ!

The better half got me front row tickets to the Saturday Top Gear show in Perth last week  8) and I am paying for her share of a four day road trip with her closest friend in January. Kids will get spoilt as usual.

Got a 12V rattle gun for Dad-in-law who worries that he isn't strong enough anymore to change a tyre.

DH went to ARB on Saturday  'to get a winch extension strap'.   As soon as he came back he locked himself in the spare room and emerged with wrapped presents for me.    I haven't seen the extension strap yet.  Wonder if it's under the tree  ???

The inlaws bought us a Weber Q 220 for the swan - got it early and had its first camping trip at Neurum creek on the weekend. That thing rocks - the 6 burner at home will only get a look in for large gatherings other wise it's the weber all the time.
SWMBO got a Nesspresso machine for the camper when we are on power  :angel: :angel:
I've got bike racks for the roof of the camper and some $$ for a couple of mods - pole carriers & volt meter.

But best of all we get about 16 nights away in the camper!!!!!!  :cup:

Since selling my homemade wooden boat (like the idiot that I'am) Morag and I have always wanted either a canoe or Kayaks for fishing the rivers that we frequent.
So after seeing a couple of these in use at the last FNQ camping trip we decided to each get one.

It is the Eco Mahi Recreational Kayak
Of course thier being $200 off at BCF didnt hurt none either.
We also bought the seats and paddles to go with them.
Now we will get each other and the boys some stocking stuffers and it will be done for this year.
Oh and hopefully I will still be building a canoe during this wet season as well.
Merry Christmas everyone...

I need a new camper. There is nothing else I need, my garage is so bloody full I can hardly get in there now.

I wouldn't mind an ARB 60L fridge too.
