The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!
- Thread starter cruza driver
- Start date
Try and stop me, I am hooked on that place bud. Thanks for all your help and efforts too. Was great to put a face to a name after all this time.
Was a long drive but i would do it all again in a heartbeat:first:
I haven't been in there for nearlly 12 months :sorry: I almost went in the a couple of weeks ago to take a look,but since we've been there plenty of times we didn't. Almost every 6 weeks we would be in the area.
I guess my main concern would be the branches over hanging the track rubbing along the sides of the van (it may be ok though) and also if someone is coming out or in and travelling in the opposite direction to you. Not much room to back up.
The other thing is if its wet on the way out the first climb could get interesting depending of course on how much rain could be about.
Other than that its a beaut spot right on the Jamieson River with plenty of grass and drop toilets.
It might be an option to leave the Expanda on the road and shoot in there 1st to check out the track condition.
If you want to know of some more free camps I can help you out :wink:

Thanks mate extra spots around that area would be great! Meeting someone on the access road in was my main concern, last time i was there it was in a 40 series shorty and a tent! I have distant relatives that run or possibly use to run the local cabins in Jamieson ( haven't seen them since the last time i was there 10+ yrs ago) I suppose I could always get the missus standing on the front with a saw to attck any over hanging branches :rofl:
We bought a Expanda too on the week-end. Yep paid the remaining balance. Can't wait to take it to the local caravan park for the full setup! That will be this coming week-end!:rofl:
No worries mate I'll try and point you in the right direction :thumb: our relatives just moved out of Jamieson 18 months ago our family has a 130 year history in Jamieson so you could say I know a couple of spots :smile:
I went to the Wandin 4X4 show today to see whats new but it was much the same as previously, but nevermind it was a day out :smile:
Newcastle Caravan show...
Did see some nice vans from all the makers. Still think the Starcraft is best bang for buck if you want a family van and a full van without canvas. Another van that did surprise us was the family van from Nova Caravans. around the $50k mark but all inclusions and well finished off.
This is all just looking thing. We love our Expanda, but nice to look anyway :spy:

Well it was off to the Bargara Caravan Park for the full setup. We arrived there after 5pm on Friday and when we came to setting up the Annexe.......We inserted the strip to the side of the van and noticed it had no velcro for the walls to attach to. I thought to myself......you have to be kidding. But no it was for real. There was no velcro. I rang the dealer, and it is going to be fixed this week. Too bad if I wanted to see what a $2000 annexe looks like.
See the photo of it rolled up.
Otherwise the week-end was good.

Not good, Deano. As long as it gets fixed there is no real worries but it does put a damper on the first outing.
I guess you have some contact with Coca Cola as it fearures (subtely) in 3 of your 4 photos. :spy:

Hey Mappy,
Yes, I work for Coca-Cola up here in the Wide Bay region. They are going to help pay for my van over the next 10 years. Plus tha bank said they will help out.
I do like my stickers too.
As for the annexe, I will get that Velcro strip rectified this week.
