G'day from the Black Soil Plains of NSW
« on: February 15, 2013, 07:01:46 AM »
Long time reader, first time poster.
Been fishing/camping all my life, tented and swagged it as a kid, and as a single adult.
Now I have a wife and 2 young boys, we have a massive Kiwi Camping co Cabin Tent (9m x 4.2m) and love it, but it weighs 80kg, and takes half an hour to put up with 2 people. Takes up a lot of room in the back of the 80 series.
Getting ready for my first camper trailer trip at Easter, taking a hard floor camper to Fraser Island and can't wait!!

Grey 80 series, 455 Hornet Trophy, 3.6 Sea Hunter, Leisure Matters Ranger. Ready to burn some Diesel.  8)

EDIT : My name is Mick.
Cheers
