Looking around for a decent tent for overnight stays on weekend trips, checked out Oz-trail, not impressed with what seems not enough ventilation. A company called outdoor connections has a good tent, recommended by Choice, their WEEKENDER brand. Looks good, anyone got one? Bob

I'm seriously considering the Escape Mono seen here Diamantina Weekend Dome Tents, Shower Tents, Family Dome Tents (http://www.diamantina.net.au/welcome/page3.php) (scroll down a bit). Looks very strong, waterproof and also recommended by choice.com.au

Thanks for that, they look impressive. Are there any outlets close by? Before buying I would like to see whatever tent we select erected, & pulled down, most reputable retailors would let you do that. Bob

Just had a look at the thread "tents", earlier on. Answers most questions, probably best not to duplicate the posts. :) Cheers, Bob

That's possibly the only reason I don't have one yet - lack of local retailers so I can see one in the flesh. Also a bit suspicious why they're are no local retailers.

According to the brochure I have,Kangaroo Tent City are the sole retailers for Diamantina tents.

That's correct. Wonder why they don't have retailers in other states?

Having spoken to staff there,I think that they are made for Kangaroo Tent city,and I wonder if it is a coincidence that they have a "category 5" frame,the same as the Campmor Canvas tents,designed in South Africa but made with Australian Canvas?;)
