New Members About time!!

After using the site for the past 2+ years we have joined at last! We are the MALS - (middle aged ladies) who enjoy 4x4ing, camping and hanging out in the great outdoors. Love a chat and a few beers at the end of the day.
We drive a Prado v6 and tow a Bushman off road camper trailer (made in Maroochydore Q ).
Why the MALS?? When I, (MAL 1) first accessed the site to ask a question I described us as the MALS so the replies would not be too technical ie they would be in MAL-speak. MAL 2 was horrified and did not want to be a MAL (said she was not old enough). Howeverin 2002 we spent a couple of days in Birdsville and after chatting with Ruth for a while she said "I know you , you're the MALS". MAL 2 has been proud to be a MAL ever since! Thanks Ruth. We are off around Australia in late June for 6 months and will be heading to the Cape along with dozens of you so it seems from the posts. Hope to catch up at some stage of the trip. We'll be displaying our ExploreOZ sticker.
We will have lots of questions as our plans progress so looking forward to good advice
