Hello from the Gulf of Carpentaria

[Carpentaria 87]

New to forums so it has been a learning curve that will take a bit more to master.

My name is Jack I'm from the Gulf of Carpentaria, Normanton to be exact have lived here for a while with my loverly wife Deanne we have just purchased a Jimboomba Explorer CT which we pick up in mid June and were just a little bit excited.

We have some terrific places to camp up in this part of the world and now we will be doing it in a bit of style.

Welcome to the forum Jack and Deanne.  Beautiful part of the world where you are from.  I am hoping to get over your side in a few months time.  Good luck with your new explorer, post up some pics when it arrives.  What vehicle are you going to pull it with Jack?
