Yeah thats what i got they are fun aren't they ,Good for chassing the kids, Fred hates it cause it get tangled in her hair..LOL
I am looking for a bigger one or a plane that can be flown outside But not to big something that i can fly in the yard or over in the paddock across the road..

I am trying to work towards a camping trip even if its only overnight. Well the wattagan mountains are fairly close but we cant go there now as a couple of years ago some campers where held up by some men with a shotgun . So fatty refuses to go anywhere near there..
Now we where watching the news lastnight & there where some campers at Barranton tops camping at the allen river camp grounds i think thats where they where & about 6 men started attacking the campers cant remember what with but it wasn't good i think they had machetes we think.. Well fatty says thats it we are never going camping..
I remember going up there when a kid wasn't always good times but most of it was , now i have been all over the Barranton tops i love the place,We where in a group of FWDs that where one of the last to be able to drive upto Keery Peek before it was closed the vechiles, Thats one trip i will never forget we had a jeep Wrangler in our group of friends & it nearly slid over the edge , Took about 4hrs to get it back on the track & it was a very big drop to the bottom...We had winches,ropes & highlifts on it to get it back up..
The only place left that is somewhat close by is Fraser park camp grounds down the other side of Katherine hill bay. Now its a real nice spot down there its on the beach.I have been there once as a kid we used to go down to moonie beach alot but that has been closed to , shame i realy wanted to take the kids down there as there is an AWESOME cave up the end of moonie. ( yes its the nuddy beach).You have to walk to it now & theres no camping.
But frazer park is $50 a night , minimum of 3 nights & it a balot & you have to pay by credit card..So you fill out the balot paper for when you would like to go & hope for the best. & its only got 3 camp spots in the grounds..
What is this world coming to..Its rediculous...

Mate - check your email in about 5 minutes

G'Day Banj, just read your post about camping, gee mate, don't focus on the negatives, I mean things that you mentioned are indeed very, very rare and if you are thinking about overnight camping, don't let something like that put you off. Any rate, glad to see you are thinking about getting out, I might be able to talk you into going for a day trip somewhere someday.

Yeah i not to worried its just Karen she worried for the kids aswell i think.Or maybe she just doesn't want to go camping, She freely admits to liking her luxuries,hot water,eletric blanket.tv.

Maybe when i do get to go camping you & Mrs Aus mite like to come ?

Mate, I haven't been camping for years, I would have to get some gear together, but the short answer is yes we would come as long as I am given enough time to assemble some gear. Mrs Aus is like Fatty though, when we travel it has to be via motel rooms, and a hair dryer is a must!!!! My first challenge is to go for a day drive along Stockton as you are aware, not much of a challenge I know, but I want to familiarise myself driving off road!!

Hey drifter thanks for that..
I was thinking of joining a landrover club but the one in newcastle only has a couple of landy's in it the rest a crapoyta's.
Not sure if i would get the benifits of being in a club as i don't go out but there are other benifits i spose .
I'm just a bit embarrest to explain my situation & worried i mite get laughed out before i even done anything.
Anyone got some thoughts or opinion on the matter what should i do.
Do we or don't we.
There mite be some people in a club that mite be understanding maybe.
I don't want sympathy just some understanding like on here would be good..
