Hi from Newcastle NSW
« on: August 07, 2011, 06:19:02 PM »
Hi to everyone,

Been cruising the site for a couple of months and thought it time to say g'day. My wife and I are long time campers but pretty new to the CT scene. Our rig is a 78 series Troopy RV and our much  loved second hand Cameron Camper (had it about 8 months). The camper is about 11 years and we are only the third owners, I guess when your on a good thing!

We love the CT life and are heading off to the Kimberly's for a twelve month camping.....I mean working holiday next year  :D. There is only one problem I can see with being a part of the CT family......I am already looking for that next mod, upgrade or, if the ministry of finance allows it, my next camper!

Have found the advice on this site to be pretty good and refreshingly unbiased for the most part, just ask me, I'll tell you can't get better than a Tojo!

Look forward to spending many hours reviewing all the advice,

Drew

G'da & Welcome.

Envy is a mostly wasted emotion, but at your mention of a 12 month trip, and into the Kimberelys, I was wasting some emotions  :cheers:.

Good luck, and please keep us posted. Trip photos and reports are one of the best contributions a member can make.
