G'day
My names Darren and i stumbled across MySwag just last weekend.
Really stoked to have found it as I'm about to buy my first camper trailer in the coming month.
I drive an 05 dual-cab tray back hilux with a 2" ome lift and arb bar work.
I'm starting with a GIC extreme off road because I'm not exactly sure what i want in a camper yet and i figure its a cheaper way to mod it and figure it out.
Also going to take my first Cape York trip in August and can't wait!
Favorite part of the forum so far is the build section. Very inspirational!
Cheers,
Darren.

G'day & Welcome Darren.
Hey, can you set your CT up in your yard, I'm looking for field day accommodation in July ;).
-
Gday and welcome Darren, we are across the way in Gilgandra, we visit Mudgee often, infact we will be in town thursday.
There are now a few of us CW members, we will need to organise a do in the near future.
Cheers!!

Welcome to the show Darren, great part of the country is Mudgee...spent many weekends there sampling the local wines when we lived in Lithgow.
You will find lots of info about the Cape here..happy reading.

G'day Darren
Welcome to Myswag, good to have you here.
Im from Dubbo myself and as Campingwithkids has said, good to see a few out this way. I travel to and through Mudgee a fair bit for work as well.
Sounds like an awesome idea about having a meet up out this way. :cup: :cheers:
Looking forward to seeing you out there. :cheers:

do your reseach before u buy. :worthles:

G'day Darren,
Welcome to the forums.
I'm about halfway between you and Dubbo, rarely head Mudgee way though.
I wouldn't be against a CW meet, but I'd either need to hitch a ride or we go somewhere I can get a lowered Commodore with stupid low profile tyres (long and boring story full of bad decisions).
-
Maybe a lake burrendong meet at sometime?
Ideas??
-
Burrendong sounds good.
It would have to be a bit later on in the year for me as I haven't got my ct just yet and have a Cape trip in august (will have it before then).
Not that it stops you guys getting together before hand of coarse.
-
i was thinking once it warms abit.
-
Sounds good mate!

I'm off to Central QLD for 4 weeks sometime around August as well a fishing trip in July so later in the year works for me. Although I have no idea what I'll be up to by then, I've been putting off seeking a more permanent working situation due to the 5-6 weeks of holidays I have planned, but that goes into full gear once I get back from QLD. So I can't make plans past the end of that with any certainty as I won't know what my working situation will be.
If someone sets one up I'll do my best to get there. Despite living so close I've never actually camped at the Dam :S I've been there in the cabins a fair few times for school and youth events but that's all.

X2, my olds have an onsite van there. eagle beagle looks pretty good to me?
-
Yeah, I think that's where most of my mates used to go. I've been a bit out of touch for the last year or so unfortunately so don't know the current state of things out there.
Strange how you don't get to the close places all that often. I've spent more time fishing and camping 500km+ away than I have at the places within 100km and there are plenty of nice places around here.

I would be up for a Burrendong trip. Same same travel 4-5 hrs to go camping and haven't used the stuff at our doorstep.
But yes once it warms up a touch it would be great.

I've just moved to Mudgee at the start of the year from Melbourne. My mate here call me a wet back (because i snuck across the Murray :P).
Have managed to fish burrendong a couple of times and love it out there.
I haven't camped out there though as its so close to home. I've been on trips to the Dubbo side and I've got to say i reckon the Mudgee side's nicer.
On another note, I'VE ORDERED MY CAMPER!!!!!
Can't WAIT to get it!! :laugh:
-
Nice work mate. what did you end up with?

welcome Darren

Which camper did you buy? Please report :-)

I went with the gic extreme off Rd.
Cheap entry until I figure out what I want in a ct.
I'll build my own boat rack, front stone guard, drifta style kitchen and there's a few other little mods planned. :)
