Greetings my Adventurous friends,
First off great site!
I have been reading this site alot and decided it was time to join, long time lurker first time poster as they say.
I am currently Melbourne awaiting my lovely girl to finish her uni degree and once she has finished we are wanting to travel this fine land of ours.
I have been a hands on person most of my life but moving to melb i found a desk job, after almost 5 years of button pushing the walls are starting to creep in on me and my feet are itchy.
Done alot of backpacking and the old hitch hike my way around but not this time.
Now i dont have a 4WD so it will be mainly tarmac and the not too extreme dirt roads.
But we dont want to be in hotels we want to camp our way around. Seeing the stuff we want to see. We want to do some prospecting and metal detecting on our trip and see all the smaller old towns.
I have a 1990 XF falcon Panelvan on duel fuel its my Tin tent it is a bit higher than stock with HD suspension with LT tyres so it sits higher than most.
Was told buy the last owner it was ex-police hence the suspension and i have a trailer i want to customise to suit.
It is a bit big at the moment, but i am wanting to see what i can do with it.
It will be more of a on road kitchen/wardrobe/tool shed on wheels.
(I have found some one now to take the cats, because untill recently there was plans for a cat cage too...)
It will be different and i know a few people wont agree but it will be the way we want it done.
Be prepared for some questions that i may need answering hahaha.
On that note though, i am perfectly wonderful in use of the search function!!!
I will add pictures as things take place and make a build thread.
Look forward to now being able to chat with you all.

Edit, I noticed that the 'this thread is worthless without pics' gif is used alot so i figured i would get some up first.
This is from a panelvan run to Lima sth.
