About Me

My wife, Amanda and I have been keen camping people since before we had kids. We have owned a series of 4x4 cars and only recently upgraded to the new V8 landcruiser ute as our two teenage boys are getting to the stage of having their own driving licenses. We have lived in WA originally but then moved to the NT for 6.5 years where we had a great time. The NT really offers so many camping opportunities and was a great base for exploring the top end of Australia including Queensland and WA.
We have recently moved back to WA for our kids final education and to be closer to family. (the biggest thing you miss in the NT). The whole family loves camping and we have spent many weeks in some amazing places in the NT that you would just never find or get a chance to see unless you lived there. My experience as a fisherman just expanded so much in the topend with the endless opportunities on offer and so many fish. I love fishing especially flyfishing.

My previous white dual cab landcruiser was equipped with most everything that you could need out camping. This had been slowly built up over years of camping, seeing other setups, and a few brainstorms. When we purchased the new V8 Landcruiser Ute 2008 I immediately set about fitting it out with all that I could to equal the old cruiser. Some of the set up includes-
UHF radio
Bosse compressor with air tank
Air bag suspension with controllers
Air hose and gauge that runs off the tank.
70 litre under tray water tank with electric pump
HiLift jack
Fire Extinguisher
IPF spot lights
Twin sideways work lamps
Dual batteries with smart controller
Anderson plug going to trayback camper
UniSolar panel over cab powering extra battery
ARB bull bar, scrub bars, side steps.
Custom bar work over cab.
Under tray storage lockers.
Tools including socket sets, puncture repair, snatch strap, 5 tonne tow chain, 3 tonne come-along, welding mask, selection of h/t nuts and bolts, 400amp jump leads, set of ocky straps, couple lengths of rope - all of which have been used out camping.

Travelander slide on camper which comes with just about everything to go camping in comfort - twin waeco fridges, 3 burner gas stove, queensize innerspring bed, LED lighting everywhere, twin deep cycle batteries with a built-in 240v 3 stage charger, 120 litre water tank, pressure pump to sink with flickmaster tap, gas hotwater system for sink and shower cubicle on the side for hot showers, and the whole lot contained in a hardfloor camper with remote control power arm that unfolds it and folds it up again.

All fish that are seen in my photos where released unharmed. I love fishing but rarely eat fish. Mostly I just catch and release. (except that barra on the last page - I ate that one and it was yummy)
