Howdy from Mackay QLD!
« on: May 11, 2013, 10:50:15 AM »
And a big Hello to all of the My Swag Crew!
Drew & Tania are our names and we have been lurking Myswag for a while now but have finally bit the bullet and signed up!
We have been members of Pradopoint for quite a few years now and we are pretty much looking for a new forum experience.
Like most of you all we hare pretty well kitted out and love planning to get away and scheming as much time off work as we possibly can.
Our rig consists of a 2004 KZJ Prado and our newer addition to the family is our 2010 Armadillo camper.
Previously we were tents all the way, but as our little one is now 6, we have found the need for a few more comforts when we are on the road.
We headed north last year and did the Cape, and we are now in the planning stages of a western QLD Dinosaur tour with a stop off at Lawn Hill for September this year.
All we can say is we love it, and cant get enough of it...
Byfield NP in 2 weeks and Fraser Island in July...
LOVE IT!
Cool... Thanks for having us and we are looking forward to getting to know you all.
Cheers Drew & tania.

Thanks Muzza & CanAussie.
Yes there is closures at Byfield but we will check out the state forest and see how far we can get!
We havent been to Yeppoon either so there will be plenty for us to fill 4 days in with!
Cheers for the welcome.

Welcome Notch!

I'm looking at heading up to Yeppon for a trip soon, so I'll keep an eye out for your trip report!

Enjoy your stay!

Notch,

Probably in the second half of the year. I grew up in Rocky, so I'll drop in and see some mates there as well. All depends on work and how busy we will be around that time.

I thought you could post pics right away.  I thought the 25 posts was for putting a pic in your signature page.
