Hi we have just joined
« on: December 14, 2011, 04:58:16 PM »
Hi all

My wife Ruby, and myself are about to head off on a trip around Oz. we leave on the 16th January (we retire on 15th)

we have a CIG off road CT and our tow vehicle is a Jackaroo diesel.

We will be heading down to batemans bay for a wedding mid February then will be traveling North through NSW, Qld anticlockwise

any tips would be appreciated, we are an older couple travelling with 2 small dogs and intend to have a fun adventure.

G'day & Welcome.

My tip would be take a camera and pack plenty of red wine. Have fun.

Hi Ruby and Doug,

Welcome to MySwag.....where you`ll find everything you want to know and a bit that you probably don`t want to know  >:D

Enjoy your retirement and trip around Oz.  My tip would be keep it simple and only take what`s absolutely necessary  :D

Cheers from a couple of oldies,
Robyn and Frank.
