Thanks to all for the warm welcome  ;D. Yes love CQ weather, first trip in September (same weekend we pick up) the eagle will be to Woodgate so we can take the little dog with us & get used to the new toy. Then in October for a week we have planned a trip to Fraser with a group of 5 cars, looking forward to dipping the nav & eagle in the sand for the first time!

Bushman- HAHA LOVE IT! MYJAYCO tho I dont think Myswag will ;)

Black Diamond- Myswag has made my day, I have so many ideas ready to go! I will most surely upload pictures of the Eagle when I get it & photos from our first trip (wont be very exciting as we are just taking it easy for the first one & going to a park near Bundaberg). I do have lots of photos to share of our travels in our soft floor.

Hi Mel87

Welcome to the forum.
Very useful for getting out & about.

We are also looking for places in CQ for good places to camp & have a good look around the area.

If you ever venture in the Townsville Region look us up for some places to visit.

Hi Mel, I've lived in gladstone for a long time now and have just started getting back into camping, my family does not like it. I've left it up to Symon  and Mr Mcgirr to post the photos of the cape trip.
