G'day G'day ... another QLDer
« on: February 14, 2012, 12:07:11 PM »
Hello fellow campers,
I've been lurking here for a while now, scouring through the vast amount of information this great site has to offer, so I thought I'd better say G'day.
Only new to the camper trailer scene (have been tent camping since I was knee high to me) but due to my rapidly expanding family, and therefore rapidly reducing storage space in the car, I decided to invest in a camper trailer.
Ended up with a 2011 Market Direct Off Road Extreme Explorer after a deal I couldn't knock back. Have read many a mixed review about these campers, but the 2 times I've taken it out (Fraser Island and DIP) it's performed flawlessly (touch wood).
Several mods are on the cards though, and as I'm a welder by trade, I'm looking forward to doing most of the work myself, hopefully with the help and knowledge of like-minded people from this forum.
Anyway, just a quick hi, I'm sure you'll hear more from me  ;D and see you on the trails.

Cheers,
Kris

G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light
G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'
Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right

Isn't great to be an Aussie
Takin' a walk along the street
Lookin' in shops or buyin' a paper
Stoppin' and havin' a yarn with people that you meet

Down at the pub or at a party
Whenever you're stuck for what to say
If you wanna be dinky-di, why don't you give it a try
Look 'em right in the eye and say goo'day

G'day g'day, how ya goin', what d'ya know, well strike a light
G'day g'day, and how ya go-o-o-in'
Just say g'day g'day g'day and you'll be right

 :D
