Did anyone end up with one of these and if so what are your opinions of it?

We set off today south bound toward the Northern Gunshot Bypass track, which led us onto the Old Tele Track again, we went north to have a look at Cockatoo Creek, before turning...

All good things must come to an end!

It was time for us to head south, the Germans were running out of money and needed work, and we had other adventures awaiting us. We all said our goodbyes,...

We had planned to meet the remainder of the group out at Muttee Head the following day for a few days camping. It really is a beautiful place. Went out a few times in the boat...

Later we headed over towards Bamaga airport to checkout the WWII plane wrecks in the area. It's surprising how good of condition they still are in despite the years of harsh conditions.

We decided to head over to Seisia for a couple of nights in the caravan park with Pete & family. We had a fish off the jetty after catching a bucket load of live bait by jigging...

The next day I took the opportunity of a bit of free time to adjust the wheel bearings on the camper and the Patrol. The parts for the leaking water tank arrived also which made for a quick fix.
We...

First day in Punsand Bay was relaxing with a walk on the beach, swim in the new pool, cold beer (in a glass!) at the Corrugation Bar and just relaxing at camp with the other family...

We pulled up at Canal Creek for 2 nights of free camping near the creek. Great spot with not many other people around, until the second night when along comes the old fella and the 4 Germans with...

7th October 2016

So that's pretty much what we did, quick photo at the start of the Old Tele at Bramwell Junction and went for a dip at Fruit Bat Falls.

Leaving the next day was a bit delayed as we learnt that Weipa was the last of what is called cheap grog, and the bottle shop didn't open until 10am. So we done some groceries, stocked up on some...

We checked into Weipa Caravan Park & Camping Ground for a few days. It was noticeably hotter here on the West Coast of The Cape then the East Coast. We made full use of the pool, despite it being...

1st October 2016
The leak from the water tank was a little worse than I thought. Overnight we lost all the water in the camper trailer tank. Lucky we had some drinking water in the Patrol but not...

The next day we decided to head out to Cape Melville. The dirt road to the turnoff to Melville was in great condition. A very easy 80km later we turned onto the Cape Melville Track at an old rusty...

Being that we were in a massive rush when we originally planned and left home, we really didn't plan where we were going after Cooktown. So over a couple of beverages after the kids went to bed we...

I agree with you there from first hand experience. I taped mine up with black electrical tape.

Today (28th Sept 16) we took on the Bloomfield Track. I was expecting a bit of 4x4ing but unfortunately wasn't too be. The hardest part of the Bloomfield Track is the very steep hill that they were...

After a few days in kid heaven, we only went just north of Cairns to Palm Cove. We had a couple of nights there across from beach, and had a run in with a french backpacker who apparently mistaken...
