Hi from Adelaide
« on: September 21, 2011, 07:37:44 AM »
Hi!

We're a family from Adelaide with 2 little ones (18 months and 3.5), I'm a full time mum (are there any other females on the forum??) and hubby works from home, well now a neighborhood coworking space a walk away from home. We've had a plan for a couple of years to do the big trip with a couple of other families... hopefully the others will get themselves organised but we're definitely getting ready. We got ourselves a Sar Major off road camper (sorry not going into the technical stuff, mostly cos I don't know it! ;D) we just picked up our drifta kitchen yesterday woo hoo! Can't wait to put it in and get all our gear organised.
We're heading off to Sydney next week (hubby has a conference) and then turning it into a family holiday coming down the south coast of nsw and then along the coast of Vic or whatever takes our fancy at the time.
We're looking for a second hand 4WD, we only have a tarago, so have to be a bit careful about how much we pack! So I'll probably have a lot of questions about 4wds.

Looks like a great site!

Hi LucyJ

Welcome, nice to see another Adelaidian getting out and about.

You will be surprised at the amount of knowledge there is on the forum. Not just about the technical stuff, but also about the best places to go and see.

Have fun,

Baz

G'day & Welcome.

Will your Sydney trip mean you could miss our first ever National Meet in Wilmington SA? If you can, you should come on up.
