Hello from the Kimberley
« on: February 04, 2012, 03:51:08 PM »
Hi all
Thought I better do a proper intro since I've been lurking around having a look
Currently just using the tried and true Oztent which we absolutely love and would never part with, however we have recently made the decision to upgrade to a CT
At the moment we are looking at the Camprite
Never owned one before or even slept in one however the wife spent her youth travelling in the family Cavalier
The car is a 2003 Nissan GU Wagon that has had more spent on it in accessories that the purchase of the car, surprise surprise I guess we all know that story!!!

Obviously spoilt for 4wding and camping living in the greatest part of the greatest country - the Kimberley

Anyways, enough rambling and hello all

Hi, I'm new also. Camprite were on our dream list. Maybe when we win lotto. Seem a good family set up. The Kimberley region is on our to do list. There is a great looking 2nd hand Camprite in the classifieds in the forum for sale at the moment. Great info on here.

G'day & Welcome.

There are some good Camprite's for sale, and they do make a nice camper that's for sure.

Good luck with your search, and I look forward to seeing lots of photos from your part of the world.

We quite liked Derby. Stayed there for a few nights, had some great meals at the Windmill Cafe.  :cup: 
Also went to the Horizontal Water Falls from there.   ;D   An amazing view of Derby from the air. 





Was this you on ya bike?

Hi Kimberley Mob

Very jealous of the 4wding you have up there. Hopefully in the next couple of years will be up that way.
