Hi there, my name is Jo and my partner and I are expecting to receive our new expanda 17-56-2 in the next two weeks. Very excited. We have 2 lovely little girls aged 3 & 4. Our jobs enable us to get holidays just like the school kids. So we want to make the most of it. We also hope to meet & network with other Brisbane expanda owners one day on get aways.

Welcome. Enjoy counting off the sleeps. You'll love planning and then enjoying those holidays together. Get the girls involved and give them a few simple responsibilities when setting up/and packing up so they share "ownership" of your Expanda.

Welcome fellow newbies - we've got another 6 weeks to wait. You'll love this forum - informative and friendly.

Welcome Jo and the family. Good to have more Queenslanders on board and if you post up trip details with an invite to join up I'm sure you will have locals wanting to meet up. Enjoy the new van.

Hi Jo and Family, just to echo the other guys comments welcome to the panda family. Everyone is super friendly in here, couldn't be more helpful, and agree with chartrock, good to have more Qlder's join in. You get to have a bit of fun with the poor Victorians!:smow: :rain: :boink: ;)
The other state members are a bit like Qlder's, they're ok.::grouphug:
We have a couple weeks to go also, the end of the wait is nearly here for both of us :whoo:
Enjoy

Jas

Ps the victorians are cool also :smile:

Don't let Holden Man mislead you. Too much sunshine gets to them up North. I've been secretly typing very slowly so he can keep up with the threads, though, because anyone with nearly an Expanda can't be all bad.

Welcome JoM, good times ahead, lucky you guys get the school holidays off....I'm thinking we have a school teacher on board and maybe Tafe teacher as well.

Cheers,
Burnsy.
