    Before my 4x4s I had a XT ute decked out for camping and a HQ wagon after that again decked out for camping.
    Before that it was motorbikes and more motor bikes, flimsy tent on the back and a bottle of stones to ward off the chills.
    And before that Ive been travelling and camping with mum and dad from a very young age,every where from the Flinders to QLD.
    In the early days it was a 38 chev and later a FC wagon, bloody great memories, it's true times were simpler, the dollar was strong,lol
    whats not to love about touring around OZ, I do miss all that
    04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

    Nah, we didn't do much. Drove around a little bit nearby, but not much 4x4 needed. On the last trip we drove into Halls Gap and headed back (in a southerly direction) down a track further west from the main road. But it was pretty tame. Might be a bit different if it was wet. I'll probably be up there again, so was planning to ask around. I think some of the guys from the local club have been up there a few times, but not sure if just to look at the scenery or actually to do some challenging 4x4. If I find out anything I'll update.
    Thanks, Cameron
    No Patrol now - Just good memories!

    Used to get out a bit before we bought the farm, now it has been 5 years since a camping trip, miss it heaps but will be selling up here in the next year or so and plan on travelling before settling in or around Melbourne.
    Seemed like a good idea at the time

    atleast once a month..even if it's just down the beach for a fish overnight or down the the local windy harbour(little fishing village..no power no phones no nothing..just camping and fishing) for a catch up with mates and a fish....uaually do not have to travel more than 100km so it's an easy option.....never used to go camping before we had a family and I'm supprised how many stop doing it once they have kids..

    I am hearing you. I want to get the kids out as much as possible. We didn't even have a car when I grew up so I want to make sure they remember something fun. Went down and stayed at Belanglo state forest last weekend. I thought telling the missus about Ivan Millat she would have freaked but she actually started reading up all about it. Not what I expected. lol

    For me I've only been out twice in the last year, one was our 2 week trip to Tassie and the other was a weekend hunting trip to woods point, I'm hoping by after winter I will be over a recurring back problem and back in the saddle.
