Hi all,
Time for me to put in a first post.
We're on the northside, been in Brisbane for just over three years after moving up from Adelaide. We've always been campers back down south, but are quite amazed of the many spots up here so close to Bne!
We've been renters, but last month in a rented caravan as a tail, but crossed that of the list (in the wife hated it!).
So last weekend I bought a second hand Adventure Camper (Pilbara model), from a bloke has come across from WA. It's a 2009 model and only done 3 short trips, and has done more kms on a back of truck than it has on the road. The tyres are so new, they still have the rubber nodules on them!
Anyway, can't wait to pick it up next weekend.
First trip is planned to be safe one, up to Rainbow beach caravan park to do the "has does it all work" weekend on the Oz day weekend.
Our long term is planning is to do a 14 week half circuit 2Q next year, so will be doing a fairbit of research on here, and answering lots of questions.
Stay tuned for pictures next week! :D

Hi WannaBe and welcome to the forum. Great that you have just purchased your own camper. Sure you will get years of enjoyment out of it.
Like your forum name, a bit of that in all of use.

Hi WannaBe!
Awesome that you decided to join us - can't wait to hear about how your Rainbow Beach expedition goes - always exciting when you are taking a CT out for the first time.
My advice is to have a little notebook with you to write down all of the things that you need to put in it ready for next time!

Hi gregnleanne,
Unfortunately we cant make that w/e. We've been to Sandy Creek a couple of time - it's a great quiet spot. I think we're there later in March with other friends. Hope to make to a myswaggers seqld meet though.

I know you said piccies were coming and I can't beleive anyone has not said but....
:worthles:
Welcome aboard & you moved too far north. Southside is where it's at.
Bride & I stayed at Rainbow Beach late last year, had a wedding to go to on the end of Inskip and then reception at the RB Surf club. Staggered back to the CT as is only a block away after last drinks called. Left the bottom of the door unzipped & came back to a flood inside the tent after a huge storm went through. Lucky no gear was on the floor.
Facilities were clean & had plenty of room to set up but quite a few lads made a racket all night walking down the road after leaving the pub so SWMBO said. I didn't hear a thing.
Great weekend though. Beautiful part of the world is SEQ.

Hi wannabe, welcome to myswag,
I'm definitely jealous of your 14 week trip you are planning.

G'day & Welcome.
Nice score, 2nd hand camper that's done next to nothing. Look forward to seeing some photos of your setup from Rainbow Beach.

G'day and welcome to myswag :cheers:

Nothing wrong with the northside. I reckon they should put border control in the middle of the bridges to stop those southsiders venturing north of the river.
Welcome.
-
Love the Northside mate, the only issue is the southerners who find their way across the bridge and fill up our great camping spots. Thats when we go enjoy the great motorbike rides around their hinterland.
Enjoy the trip to Rainbow and hope you load up with fish and crab.
Regards

Well terrible timing last w/e for taking out the ct for the first time. It was so damn wet, we decided to put the large 7x6 tarp above us to keep ourselves dry.
It was so wet, I didn't eevn take any pics!! Took plenty of notes though.
Rainbow Beach is a great spot though. We'll definately heading back there, probably winter time.
Next trip is to Morten Island first w/e in March. Hopefully weather is better and can get some pics taken!
