G'day , joined today .

[UTE 701]

G'day All,
I'm new here ( obviously ) , but certainly not new to camping and 4x4's .
I was into camping while still at school , in fact my "schoolies" was in my tent at Rainbow Beach , with my old Holden .
But that next year I had a new Hi Lux , and I was hooked on " Getting away from it all " for life .
I've done many trips over the years : Cape York , Kakadu , Gulf , Ayers Rock , Alice Springs , Birdsville Track , Gunbarrel Highway , Southern half of Australia Coastline , Flinders Ranges , Carnarvon Gorge , Fraser Island , Moreton Island . But all these were when I was in the tent brigade .
Over the years I have owned a Hi Lux , a Nissan , another Hi Lux , a Suzuki , an early Rodeo .
And when I first met my wife , she had a Pajero that she had already taken across the Simpson .
Then we had to do this boring thing called buying a house ...   But  ...
Since having 2 children , we decided to join the Camper Trailer Team .
And we have done many trips to get through that list of things I want my kids to see in Australia , before they start going overseas when they get older , as that is the trendy thing to do !!!
None have been tough trips ...But I have stories of many miles of Off Road racing , 4x4 Club runs , and tough 4x4 trips , so I have my share of extreme driving already done .
CT holidays for the kids include Moreton Island , Whale Watching at Hervey Bay , Cania Gorge , Dubbo Zoo , Central Qld Coast and Barrier Reef , Central Australia and Coober Pedy and Lake Eyre and Innamincka , and recently Victoria and the Great Ocean Road .
And every Easter we have a " Secret Place " in the bush with a creek and everything we want .
I have been a photographer , longer than I have been a camper , and I am looking forward to sharing some of my millions of pics with you .
Our CT is something we have put together over the years ( 7 x 5 trailer with a soft floor tent ) .
I am still adding to it with ideas I see .
The tow vehicle is a Rodeo dual cab '05 turbo diesel .
We live on the northside of Brisbane .
Next year we are planning on doing the Kimberley , so I am keen to find out as much as I can about all sorts of things , and that is why I ended up here on this web site .
I look forward to swapping yarns and ideas ,
Cheers,
Darryl.

Hi Darryl,

Post up Pics mate, we love pictures here.
Mate, you can never get tired of seeing what this great country has to offer.
You'll certainly get good advice about your Kimberley trip.
In October I asked had anyone been along the road from Yunta to Hawker and within a couple of hours GU Rich
, had posted up pics of the road and I could see for myself what good condition it was in. 
All you need to do is ask.

Happy & safe travels
