Good morning from the High Country
« on: April 24, 2014, 09:45:43 AM »
Hi everyone.
I've been stalking this forum for the past few months and thought it's time I introduced myself.
My name is Matt, and my wife and 2 little girls have recently moved to Mansfield from the Goulburn Valley.
We have been looking at campers for the past few months, but haven't decided exactly what we want. When you're looking at spending a fair bit of money, you want to be sure.
We are just about to purchase a 4x4 so that we can start exploring our new home. The beat up old Camry just can't get to some places. LOL.
Anyway, thanks to everyone on here for the fantastic information sharing. It is invaluable for newbies like me.
Cheers

Matt

Welcome to myswag.  I spent more than 12 months searching, visiting shows and asking questions before I bought our Customline.  Ask any questions as I'm sure somebody will have an answer  :D

Happy camping

Thanks for the welcome's guys.

macca, I was really keen to pop down to Knockwood to say g'day and meet a few of the members, but we've got 2 bloody birthday's on that weekend, and we're organising the Million Paws Walk on the Sunday in town.

I'll be keeping my eyes open for the next get together.

Cheers
Matt

Hi Peter,

We took the kids for drive over your way last weekend. Took them for lunch by the river at Jamieson, then to the kevington pub for a look. Then back home via eildon and Alex.
It was a nice drive and filled in the day.

Matt.

Hi GG,
We ended up with a 2008 Patrol, that may or may not have been seen a fair bit on this forum.

Hopefully its a good buy. I'm happy with it.

I'm as excited as a fat kind in a lolly shop at the minute.

Cheers
