I feel it is time to introduce myself and say hi after watching anonymously for some time as I am now a camper owner....or almost!
I have driven the tracks and camped extensively in SE Qld with my wifey and 2 boys but our latest addition....another boy
has pushed us into the camper scene. After some extensive deliberation (maybe 3-4yrs worth, might be longer) I eventually settled on the Drifta Offroad Tourer (DOT6) which I am picking up from Luke on the 23rd of this month. We are simple campers and want to keep it that way so the DOT6 made perfect sense, just makes it easier to hitch up, setup and pack up.
We are northsiders living on the southside (of Brisbane) who are keen for many trips out. Not adverse to going on our own but also love sharing it with other like minded people.
The best place I have camped to date - Sandy Cape, Fraser Island - May 2014. This was 2 weeks in to our 3 week Fraser trip and it was unreal. If you haven't got up there you must go. You can watch the sunrise and sunset both over water from the exact same spot on the beach....bliss
The worst place I have camped - Doesn't exist. It is what you make it but there have been some very testing weekends away for sure. Weather hasn't always been the kindest. If I had to name 1 it was Australia Day 2013, doesn't matter where it was though because if anyone else was camping that weekend in SE Qld I am sure they would agree.
Dream Trip - Half way round...Home - The cape - Kakadu - Down the middle - High country - Home
What my new camper will bring - I am challenging myself that after we set it up our own way that we camp somewhere different every weekend for a year. This means I may be piggybacking on some of your trips if you don't mind. What better way to meet people. This will probably become my 2016 New Years resolution....hopefully I keep this one!
That is all folks....looking forward to some unreal memories and hopefully new mates
Cheers
