Hi everybody we picked up our new van today Bl**dy awesome. Our first 3 vans were second hand this one is custom built and our first new one. Now we have a big learning curve for all the new toys it has. The Cruiser handled it well hope it does it as well when the van is loaded. Climbed up the
Toowoomba Range without a problem. Can't wait to head to
Sydney in a few weeks for our shake down trip. We will be heading to WA in December for a 3 year tour all being well.

Enjoy your travels.

Just looked at all your photos.
As one of your feathered kinfolk would say:
FFF-AAAA-RK
It's a beauty. 24 foot. Wow. That's biggie. Who said size doesn't matter?
Crowie, we will be picking our new van up (from QLD) in Sept and then heading to
St George for the EO Gathering. Will we see you there?
Then we are going to spend a month or so exploring FNQ, I really want to
camp on the shores of
Lake Tinaroo.
We'll be back in
Mandurah by December so if your in this neck of the woods get in touch.
cheers

Watch out for the white tailed rats at
Lake Tinaroo. They love eating electrical wiring, radiator and heater hoses - anything rubber!
The sign at
the entrance to the camping area advises that you should leave your bonnet up at night.

Is that so they can get in easier?

I can deal with a rat under the bonnet, but if any of these nasties come near me you'll hear the big girly scream
miles away:
