Hi all - we are new to the forum, have had a 2nd hand camper trailer for about 5 years and have recently upgraded to a new Vacation Passage.  We love the Aussie Bush and getting out of the rat race for a while.  We are now "empty nesters" and we are planning some big trips and can't wait.

Welcome 2 the zoo crew.

Empty nesting is great, except they keep coming back!

Hi again, we are from Brisbane.  Yes, have already learnt that being an "empty nester" means they come back - and they leave their dogs to be "baby sat" !!!

Welcome and may your bank balance be decreasing significantly now you're here.  :D

Welcome to the Forum Sonny.  We too are empty nesters from Brisbane except for our dog who thinks she's human  ;D.

Nice set up you have.  :cheers:

G'day Sonny,

To Myswag,
Use to go to Evans every Easter, Although a very nice spot, it got a little too loud for us, now we love to get away from the noise and find a river bank somewhere  ;D
There is plenty of great info here to help you guys prepare for your trip.
Hope you enjoy your time here.
Happy & Safe travels.
 :cheers:
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

Welcome to the Forum Sonny. Our Border Collie goes practically everywhere we go, he doesn't actually realise he's a dog tho. ;D  Hope you enjoy the forum.
