 As far as freight goes, few options

Put it on load shift.com.au, people will call you re freighting it back
Go to the bp at kewdale and put  a a4 wanted backload page on the truckie lounge wall.
Do a few of these at big truck stops.

Being realistic you should get it back to Brisbane for under $1500 .

I recently got a 4 t digga back from Perth to Newcastle,for a grand.

You just got to be patient and be firm  :worthles:with what you are offering to pay.

Give me a bell if you need any info.

In case u are wondering used to work in logistics :)

Gone to a new home

I have three, perhaps four days off in mid Feb and an issue with my lease whereby I need to drive 5300km in the next two months.  I'd be prepared look at the logistics to collect the camper from anywhere in QLD and drop it at its home on my way back to Kuranda.

Wow George the camper looks fantastic! We just do not know how to thank you enough.

Melissa has also been in contact with camping magazines and will write a story and send in as well.

To everyone who has donated money towards the freight, well words don't say enough to show you our apreciation and how honestly grateful we are to you all. It just goes above and beyond what we could have expected to happen after jimboomba collapse. We hope to meet a lot of you someday as we camp in our new follow me camper!

I hope to see a lot of you at the BBQ where we can celebrate the great people that George nd Theresa and the team at follow me campers are. Also so I can thank you all for your donations!

Luke and Melissa
Looking forward to getting my follow me camper!

We handed over the camper to Luke today, he is very happy with it and can't wait to get it over to Townsville to show Melissa and Braxton (their son).

Spoke to Luke yesterday and he was so excited and impressed with the camper. We are just so grateful to this wonderful family. Not only have they done this for us, they have taken Luke in for the weekend and made his stay in Perth so enjoyable.

Thank you everyone for everything you have done for us. WE can't wait to get the camper out on the Queensland roads and show off such a fine product! And one day hopefully you will see us travelling over in Perth with it.

Looking forward to getting my follow me camper!

It was great meeting you yesterday Luke.
Good to see there is still goodness in this world.
George, the meat was perfectly cooked, the company was great. Not sure if we can tell everything on this forum.....:-)

Missed the BBQ,  but will definitely stop in for a meet and greet, next time Im up in the big smoke!

The camper looks awesome!!
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

Just driving to work this morning through Eagle Farm and spotted a fairly newish looking Followme camper on the back of a truck. Couldn't get a good look as the truck was stopped in his lane and mine was flat strap so just saw the Followme sign.
Just thought of you guys as I drove past, is it on a truck yet?

Hi Everyone,

I would just like to thank everyone for everything they have done for us the last couple of months. From when this first thread Jimboomba campers closing down started we have felt so much support right across the country.  From peoples lovely words of support to the over whelming generosity from George and Teresa and follow me campers and then the wonderful donations from the fellow my swag people, we just don't have the words to express how grateful we are.  Melissa can still remember the day George called her to discuss giving us a camper at half there cost from there camper ranges. At this stage we couldn't believe it would happen, and now we have a camper that is either on a truck or waiting to be put on a truck and come to live with us!!

Thank you to everyone who donated towards the freight this just showed us what wonderful people there is in the camping community. George and Teresa you's are just more then we could have imagined to come into our lives. I look forward to one day introducing Melissa and my kids to you both! If you ever come over to QLD for a holiday let us know so we can meet up or show you the same hospitality you showed me on the weekend...we would love to have you's.

For anyone who doesn't know, I did go to Perth on the weekend to meet with George and Teresa and check out my new camper. Now the quality of camper I have recieved is better then the original Jimboomba one I was originally getting. Everything about the camper is excellent quality and exactly what we were after. I can't fault it! I also put the camper up and can say comfortably that my wife could put it up her self it was so easy!

To the fellow my swag people, I look forward to talking on many more forums and sharing with you our camping stories in our new follow me camper! We are purchasing a sticker from My Swag this week and will be proudly sticking it on my camper!

Thanks again

Luke

Glad to hear everything has worked out so well for you guys Luke.
You know, now that you know your better half can put it up herself, It's a great excuse to sit back with a beer while she does.
I just tell mine she needs the practice......  >:D ;D

Works on most things too lol

All Jokes aside, This really is one of those moments where we can now start to look back and see just what makes us as Aussies great  :cup:

I hope you get many many happy trips away in your new Follow me Camper.

Cheers

Gone to a new home

Hi Everyone,

Well, Luke & Melissa's camper is now at Openica Transport and they told me it should leave either today or Saturday with a load of caravans going to Brisbane.  Then onto a smaller truck to go northwards to it's new home !!

We had a good catch-up Saturday night, Wilsurf and Wrex were able to come along with their partners and families.  A group of our friends were also there as they were keen to meet Luke after we had spent the last couple of months talking about what we were doing.

We are sending the story and photos off to the magazines soon and will keep an eye out for the articles they promised.

My witness relocation officer didn't think it was a good idea, I'm in the manure. ;D

Just thought I would let everyone know we have had a couple of replies from a few magazines regarding our story and what George and Teresa did for us. Hopefully there should be a few articles in future editions and some great advertising for follow me campers.
Looking forward to getting my follow me camper!
