    Camping with kids - the feedback

    As some of you may know from the D2 forum, I headed off to do the French Line with my two boys 4&6. Sadly we got as far as just north of Oodnadatta before having to turn back to Coober Pedy with a cracked TD5 head.

    Sent the car home on a truck, we got the bus. Holiday ruined - or so I thought until this came home from my boy in prep...

    Thats really sweet!!

    I'm guessing for kids its not about the length of the adventure but the adventure itself.....
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Granddaughter visited us in Longreach caravan park and went back to school and got an elephant stamp for her talk on her visit to the "outback"

    Fantastic. I hope the effort I'm going to to install some fold up seats in the back of my TD5 90 will give my kids the same appreciation of adventure as yours! I love the picture!

    Thats great. The kids just love the adventure and that's what it should be about.

    I have a couple of drawings my two did of the Stage 1 during our Cape York trip in '94. I'll have to try and find them and post them up.

    Brilliant picture - my parents took us camping all the time. I'm glad that my boys love it just as much as I did!

    On our last road trip during the school holidays we saw some Aboriginal rock art and it inspired my five year old to draw this..

    We don't have kids, but I can understand why that would make you smile.

    This was us last weekend, he's 4 and this was our first all boys weekend at a mates weekender, 800 acres no good for farming but great for boys.
    First time on a quad, all I heard after first getting on and "dont go fast daddy" was "go faster daddy".

    The best photo is how much SWMBO packed for his 2 nights away.

    His got a dad who was in scouts for 17 years and has been camping all his life, so the boy will be camping as much as time allows.

    Can't wait till mine are old enough. Reckon 4&6 is just about right to get them cracking.
