Late 60's,somewhere in north Qld.
I can still remember helping put up and pull down that big canvas tent,and all the wooden poles.It took a lot of room up in the SWB LR.That is why we usually had the trailer in tow.Putting that tent up daily when travelling was very tedious.

Good to see Mrs. S had her priorities right. [biggrin]
Hmm,yes, those wine coolers seem to vanish quickly when she is around.[bighmmm][biggrin]Quote:

Sorry about the blight at stage right. [tonguewink]
The RTT's look very in vogue and a lot more convenient than the old canvas tents!
Yes the RTT are slightly more convenient,(until you want to go for a pee),the big canvas tent didn't even have a floor,but we did have camp beds that were up off the ground.
One day as kids we woke up and there were hundreds newly hatched freshwater tortoises wandering down to the lake,and through the tent.
That was at Fraser camped near Coomboo lake.Can only walk in to that lake now.

Very convenient, up in under five minutes, only ten minutes to break camp.Quote:

Good to see the RTT theme being maintained, although that situation is about to change for me.
I'll keep the rooftop option, on some trips it's the most convenient option.
