Hi from FNQ
« on: April 19, 2011, 06:29:09 PM »
Hi everyone.  I've been reading different threads on here on and off for a while now and finally found the time to register.  Just getting back into camping now that the two kids are old enough to enjoy it and am looking to buy my first CT.  We are about 1 hour north of Cairns and are really looking forward to exploring some of the awesome areas around us before crossing the Nullarbor next year.  I'm blown away by the amount and quality of info on here and by how helpful everyone seems to be.  We've been looking at the full gal Ezytrail campers mainly due to budget and the fact that I really want a gal trailer.  Lots of mods to be done if we go down that track but I'm prepared to spend the time and do it properly.  Looking forward to spending more time on here and pumping you all for as much info as I can get. (More than happy to return the favour where ever I can!)
