Hello from Mackay
« on: October 08, 2012, 08:47:32 PM »
Hi,
Just introducing myself, my name is Steve and I'm from Mackay.  Done a little bit of camping in the past with a camper van which we sold many years ago but I'm looking to get into a CT this time round with a bit more off road ability that suits my wife and I.  I'm very keen on the walk up/step thru type arrangement.  Joined this forum to glean some info from other experienced and friendly campers.
Cheers
Steve

Welcome mate.

That's a lovely part of the world (my home town so I might be biased).

Have a look around, ask plenty of questions because a lot of us were once where you are now.

Welcome to the forum Steve.

Which part of Mackay do you live in?  I am in West Mackay, just down the road from the very handy Shamrock Hotel.
