Interesting their website now diverts to

http://www.drifterscreek.com.au/


The administrators would have sold everything they could including the web domain, I'd say Drifter's Creek bought it to hopefully get more internet traffic.

From the 'about us' section of their website

Drifters Creek started life as a brand of Kulkyne Kampers. In 2012 Drifters Creek became its own company set up to supply the Kulkyne Kampers and Drifters Creek brands to independent camping stores Australia wide.

Our aim is to design, develop and manufacture the highest quality camping products and deliver them to the end customer at great prices.

Since 2012 we have been busy setting up an independent camping store in each region of Australia so that you can go in and see our products and know you're purchase will be well supported by your friendly local camping store.

Got my first email tonight from drifters creek spruking the sale of Kulkyne swags. Now I have never registered with this company but did get the emails from the old Kulkyne company, so guess that how they got my email address.
Their website looks n smells like Kulkyne and this statement can be found on their web page
"Who is Drifters Creek"
"Drifters Creek is a majority owned subsidiary of Kulkyne Kampers. It has been set up to offer the range of Drifters Creek and Kulkyne Kampers branded products through out Australia through independently owned local camping stores."

Recently at a show at Caboulture Korr lighting was selling Kulkyne swags cheap.

Not any more, entitlements are guaranteed by the govt

I've just been through this ordeal and this isn't correct.
You don't get 100% of your entitlements, and the process takes almost 12 months.
