Welcome to Myswag.

It's good to see you've introduced your kids to the camping life early.

Hi Nathan from just down the road at Narromine  :laugh:

Welcome to myswag. As far as I know you guys are the closest swaggers to us - we were a little lonely out here  ;D

Hopefully we'll catch up soon. Where's your favourite campsite close..ish to home?

 :cheers: Glenyse and Scott

G'day Nathan, just up the road from you at Wee Waa. :cheers:

The Tracey family and ours, along with a few others from myswag have camped up at Coolah Tops, we all thought it was a great spot!

G'Day mate, we go through Gilly quite a bit as well as Narromine. I like both towns they seem like good country towns imo. My school used to travel to Gilly for a week, once a year, to partake in a sports festival. Back then I used to attend the Nelson Bay High School.

Welcome aboard, been through Gil many times, grew up between Moree & Warialda & spent a few years in Tamworth. Up in the Qld smoke now. Love to get back down that way occasionally. Just remember if posting to add pics or else you will get this message  :worthles:
