Flinders Ranges Pics

Howdy... yes the first pic is from up top of Mt. Caernarvon. What great views!!

Yes I too want to go back in the 'wet'. A friend told me he went in spring many years back and had river crossings and the like. I can only imagine places like Warren Gorge with water running through them - just fantastic!

REgards,

Marko

Greetings!

Yes its an OzTent RV2, well it was. I sold it due to additions to the family and have upgraded to an RV4. They cost a lot - but it would be the best tent i have ever bought. Everything is quality! The guide ropes, the pegs, zippers - everything! You do get what you pay for and I will never go back to the dome-tent which I did for almost 10 years.

Its dead simple to setup and I suppose the only problem is they are long when packed - 2m. Doesn't bother me, throw it on the roof racks. The real joy is having it and the bedding done in under 10 mins and beer in hand whilst friends are still laying out the domies and pegging down the four corners - let alone getting the fly on and all the guide ropes that go with it.

Oh yeah... the guide ropes are actually contained within little pockets on the tent too. Im getting excited just thinking about it....

Get one is all I can say... you wont regret it!

Hi Marko,

I managed to get a RV1, I know 2 person and it seems small, picked it up second hand with 2 side walls and the front of the awning, these were still in the oringinal packaging never opened.

An old guy owned it, set the main tent up and fell sick before sleeping in it, ended up in hospital and then sold it, got the lot for $850.00.

We will only be using it for touring so I also like the idea of throwing the tent up, chucking the self inflating mattress in then bed within 10 minutes.

The RV1 is only 1.6 mtrs long so fits in back of the wagon.

Cheers

Forgot to mention will be using it for the first time next week end.

Have put it up in the front yard and really impressed how fast it goes up.

Cheers

G'day Mark,
have just returned from Wilpena on Wednesday. 44 mmls of rain Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night.
Surprisingly, Bunyeroo and Brachina were open on Wednesday. I made an effort to go through with some overseas visitors, but the water was too deep for me in there. No snorkel, and it was a work car (2003 4.2 TD Patrol). I turned around and came out back to the Blinman road after getting about 3/4 way through Brachina Gorge.
Will send a few photos to you.
Dave
