what a great bunch of blokes

Myles old fruit, that's what we're here for!

Apart from the odd exception, we're all here trying to achieve a, if not the same, aim: get out there and do it!

Sharing ideas and experiences just adds to the whole thing.

Hell, I've been frequenting this site since 2002 when I remember telling Michelle (one of the Owners of this site) that I was travelling Oz as a couple (wife and me) with a mortgage and a car loan on $70 a day!

The plan was (and still is) to finish writing a book on our adventures, including all the prep and mods done to the Hilux and camper trailer!

I doubt Michelle will remember, but they did send out some ExplorOz stickers (at no charge, I might add) which we displayed on our trailer (see several of our photos of it on my Profile).

None of us are young enough to know everything, hence the reason to rely on others!

Cheers, Matt

Hi Myles,
Firstly I would like to say again sorry that we did sell out. There are 4 lucky people out there, that did buy them cheap, one member even purchased 2.

You are very correct that this is such a great site. I have made many true friends - some that I have never spoken to in the flesh as such, but are the very first people to give advise and help when asked. Another great thing about this site is that most viewer all have a common interest - Four wheel drives and getting out there to see the BEST COUNTRY in the world. Behind any good trip there is a lot of planning and preparation involved and you will find that it does not matter how remote you want to travel, there will always be someone out there that has been there also and are very willing to share their information with you.

In time you will get to see the regular names on the forum that will always help out where they can.

Have a great and safe Simpson trip, you will be in for a great desert adventure.

Looking forward to see your photos here on the forum.

Cheers

Stephen

Wait until you go camping with some of them, you'll wish you never seen this site. Most of them snore like freight trains (not me of course) and drive like nanna's

Well someone here asked about where to get a bush kettle type thing, I offered mine cause I hadn't used it in a long time. I got their address and sent it, I asked for $x dollars if they lilked it and it suited their expectations, I had low expectations. Instead of $x I got 40% more deposited to my account because they said "it just wasn't worth only $x".
