Got to put in the overtime on the tough jobs.

I think I would cop a bit of wraith from everyones better halves if I released an instructional video but some how I think I'll have to start puttin' in a little more effort once I'm better.

Yeah Leisa proved herself when she started our Cape trip last year by driving from home to Mackay with the camper in tow with just the kids while I went to Darwin for work.

Hey Bigjules dont be to hard on yourself, thats what camping is all about. I am married to a Kiwi and the relo's start about 9 in the morning when they put a hangi down, it would be a bloody lot of work for that many people but a lot of fun drinking while you were waiting. Good on you for making the effort :cheers:

At the end of the day Jules got everyone away from there campers and together in one place chatting (and drinking).  Awesome job mate. It was good doing something different as well.

I will have to say that while some were enjoying the amber fluid and mixers there was not one grogged up nong. This is a testament to the attitude that comes with identifying with the whole Myswag idea. The way we associate on-line is transferred to the camp ground. That is gold that money can't buy.  :cheers:

Bang on the money Snow  :cup:. I think I remember saying to someone (maybe your good self?) that one think I noticed was the fact that the people we met in person were just like they are on line, no bull$it act, just genuine, honest folk who like camping & all that goes with it. :cheers:
Big Jules,
Even though Judy & I decided to do our own thing for tea Sat. night with the kids, the effort you put in to the whole w/end was awesome, don't be down on yourself mate. If all in life went as planned ,it would be a boring time.The trip was a great success, have alook at the page count , seen any bigger?? Thanks again, Bevan, Judy & kids  :cheers:

Brett,  we all loved the video.  What a great record. Tks.   That sign at the start of the video was where we, at 11.30pm Friday night, turned right instead of left, sending us on a journey over a million corrogations, only to come to a dead end and have to travel over those same million corrogations to get back to where we were 15 minute prior.

Now where is that trip report Bigjules?

Top job mate.
 It was all going good until the end. Did you veer off course and run into some carnies? They looked a bit dodgy to me
