Hi Guys from Bathurst NSW.
« on: March 17, 2011, 08:56:00 PM »
Hi guys I just joined up to myswag and am enjoying the wealth of knowedge out there. We are just about to take delivery (next week) of our Camp trailer. After having a false start by purchasing a brand new one from a well known company (30k+) only to find that the quality was rubbish so they took it back, we waited for replacement for which a delivery time frame couldn't be given, so we pulled the pin as we originally paid our deposit in April 2010.

We have just purchased a second hand 2005 model Kimberley Kamper, with gull wings, boat loader, boat and outboard. We are looking forward to getting out there amoungst it. We are a family of four with a 6 year old and 2 1/2 year old. We hope to give the KK a work out for 12 - 18 months and then purchase a new one when (IF) funds permit.

I also have a keen interest in photography and have found a lot of usefull tips on here. I am a fisho (officer) by trade so am happy to answer any fishy questions relating to NSW if I can help.

Regards

Jason

Thanks guys.

I will post some pics of the KK when I pick it up next week. As for the Tug we are in between 4wds at the moment having recently sold the TD 80 Series. So for now we will be restricted to mainly easy stuff as the family car is a V8 Holden Adventra which will have no worries dragging it around but won't be capable of much more than good dirt roads.

Regards

Jason

Hey Jason, Welcome.

You've posted some great shots around the place, thanks!

I've always wanted to score a job with either the fisheries or water police, something about being on the water all day and driving a powerful cabin boat that I don't own  ???  ;D

Hi Jason,

congrats on the CT. My old man had a KK up until 4 or 5 years back and loved it.

We're actually heading out your way this arvo. Going take the CT out and check out part of the Bridal track. I know it's closed at the moment due to the landslide at Monaghans but we'll see how we go. We can always scoot around via Hill End and stop on the Turon river somewhere if it's shut off from the Bathurst side.

Anyway, good luck with the KK mate.

Thanks for the wellcome guys, much appreciated.

timneva - The track is still shut however access is fine via Hill End. If you like the Turon there is some nice spots of the Mudgee Road. Turon Gates has some nice river camping however he does charge a fee. You can drive through the property and have look first as the public road goes straight through and brings you out at Sunny Corner near Bathurst. Also Dunn's Swamp is worth look if you haven't been there.

Hi Jason,
We actually decided at the last minute to stop in at Lake Lyell and camp there for the weekend. Have been out to Turon gates a couple of times but never gone through to Sunny Corner. Will keep that in mind next time we're out that way. Haven't been out to Dunns swamp for ages although was told camper trailers are a bit difficult now as they have fenced a lot of the camping area out. Any idea if that's true? Either way, thanks for the info

Yes mate.


Unfortunately the NPWS has put barriers so that you can no longer camp on the foreshore of Dunns Swamp. It is now a little tight for space but there is still enough room for a camp trailer. There is no grassy camp sights they are all decomposed granite.
