Hi from the Goulburn Valley, Victoria
« on: March 12, 2012, 05:04:16 PM »
Hi everyone! I'm GG, a musician and part time traveller on the edge of 'grey nomad' status...nothing wrong with that I might add! Had some health issues last year and decided to scale down my pop-top to a Jayco Dove, which is easier to manouvre and take into national parks etc. I chose a 1980's model which is about as retro as me!  ;D I have the 'gypsy van' at the doctors for a spruce up prior to our maiden voyage next month. Would be thrilled to hear from owners of same to give me some tips for an easier trip. Glad to be a part of the crazy mob here, I'll fit in quite well I think!
Cheers for now.  :cheers:

Thanks Snow!

Jamming around a campfire is the best way to get to know people...especially if there's a little nip of something involved. Will look forward to that!  ;D

Thanks to all who have posted...Mace, for medicinal purposes of course, I choose Port as my elixir...although it's just about anything that's in the offering!  :cheers:

Hairs, thanks heaps for the pointers...trying to input alot of info can do your head in, so filing it on the laptop is a great step. Will check out Burnseys rebuild shortly.  :D

GG, I appologise for instigating a potential state of confusion...my muso mates call me G or GG.  :-[

G'day & Welcome G.

It's great to have another muso on board. I've been lucky enough to share the fire with Snow, Danbri and one or two others who can belt out a tune, not many nicer things in life than sitting under the stars, listening to good music with a bunch of friends.

Hi GG, welcome to My Swag.
Hope to share a campfire some day.
Love the music around the fire, but never ask me to sing.

Thanks for the thread Snow...loved the animal shots...and the wildlife around the campfire too!! Looking forward to experiencing it for myself! Oh...should I bring one slab or two...dozen?!?! :cheers:

Trevor...you don't have to sing...I carry percussion instruments with me, so I'll let you play the triangle!

So, if anybody's in the Northern Adelaide burbs at Easter time, I will be setting up at Windor Gardens CV Park that week...come and say hi and we can have a jam, a can and a chin wag!  ;D

I am proud to say that I have mastered the art of hyperlink-ing  :cup:... here are some camper pics . I bought her just 3 weeks ago, so these are from the previous owners advert. She is waiting in line for a tweak at the local CV doctor, so will post more when I get her home.
Cheers for now.

Hi speewa158 & Mystree! I've been looking for you on the members list, but didn't quite know how to spell the names! Thanks for posting and I would love to catch up when I get my camper back from a service. Was in Nagmbie last week singing to the folks at the nursing home. You're not far from me, being on the other side of Murchison. I will send a PM when she's back. Great meeting you both on the hill! Cheers!  :cheers: GG
