Hit the big time.
« on: March 05, 2014, 03:00:12 PM »
Well guys this will be post 1000 on this magnificent forum.  :cup: :cup:


Been involved in a couple of  >:( >:( >:( .
Have been bought to  :'( :'( :'( a couple of times.
Have learnt so much it hurts my brain.
Have enjoyed reading so many threads.
Haven't laughed so much for years.
Am so jealous of the skills so many of you have and so freely share.
Am so jealous of the amount of time many of you can spend under canvas in so many exotic places in Oz.
Am so jealous of some of the rigs on here.

I hope to be able to share some of my limited skills in the future if possible.
I hope to be able to go on some of the excursions in the future.
I hope to be able to sit around a camp fire and talk sh!t with you.

Many thanks go to all of you for keeping an old bugger entertained and special kudos go to the admins and moderators for running the show and keeping the peace.




So to prevent getting the accursed :worthles:




Here is a fitting piccie of some posts.

Congrats Noel, look forward to reading, learning, laughing and talking more sh1t with you too.

Btw, your posts need some 12v LED lights on top so noone runs into them in the dark. Given they're outdoors and not too much foliage nearby, just use speaker wire, no fuses and $2 aligator clips onto the battery.  She'll be right:-)

Nice work!

Though you should use CCA treated posts, those pictured could be used for a fire on a Myswag meet somewhere!

Huh, check that out, over 1,500 posts and about upwards of 7 or 8 of 'em made some sense.

ANNNNNNNNNND, only one post ever deleted by mods because I made a gay comment, oh and there was the air guitar I tried selling, they pulled that too.... bloody mods....  ;D   :cheers:

Hi everyone,

Getting back into camping again after 14 years. (we use to spend Xmas camping at Fraser about 5 or 6 years running)

Looking to get a camper trailer for use on Fraser, Inskip Point, Teewah Beach etc.
Bloody confused too, only want to spend about 6 grand and don't really know if we should go new from MDC or similiar or to get a decent 2nd hand unit. Happy to spend some $$$$ to outfir it with the right gear etc.

I know the MDC's are of lighter construction etc, but for what we are going to use it form i'm sort of thinking it might be OK.

I realise the questions and concerns have been raised a lot before, but any help offered would greatly accepted.

Anyway, we in our fifties (Just) and have an 04 Jeep Cherokee (hence the Jeepers Creepers name) and just looking to get back to nature again.

Cheers, J.C.

Oh, and well done noël.

Nice work Noel, keep it rolling mate.

Jeepers, Air guitars...useless bits of kit. Every one knows strings for them are as rare as hens teeth.  ::)
