Welcome to the tribe.  How about telling us a bit more about yourself and what sort of CT you have.  And we love photos on here  :D

Happy camping

Well, I purchased a Barracuda Camper trailer in 2010. Got it because of the price and figured that I could spend a bit on it as time went on. Now that the two youngens are getting to the point of when are we going camping Dad? I thought it time to start looking at mods for it. Again great forum for inspiration!!!! :cheers:

I agree. There are plenty of great places in this area. Only been here about 12 months and love the place. Not sure if the wife would enjoy the brindi's in the snow though. Would be great to do though.

Do we have to wait for the snow to actually fall? Quite happy for some suggested dates? Provided there is the ability to have a fire I'm happy anywhere. And an ale or two

Hi from another Canberran.

Would love to have a swag trip around here, but just about had enough of camping in the cold.

Wave if you see us around town. The red Cherokee has it's myswag stickers, and the patrol has a myswag wheel cover, so if you are in Belconnen area you just might spot us.

Hi there and welcome. The mtb doesn't refer to mountain biking by chance as I've had the pleasure of riding Mt Stromolo and a couple of others. Canberra is a bit of a Mecca for riders

Noughts, no mountain bike association. It is the number plate on the prado. Youngest fellas initials. I would agree stromlo is packed on a weekend with them.

Thanks to all who have made me feel welcome. I will keep my eye out in the area for other swaggers. Would very much like a swaggers trip in the area!

Welcome.  I am really just lurking and learning at this stage. Welcome from another Canberran. Due to retire 13/9 - then get a 2009 Prado and trailer and take of for a head clearing trip to the Flinders Ranges.

ACT isn't too far away for this is it?
