Do you know how much those canopies cost Camper ball park figure ???
Thinking of getting one on this juice guzzler

$5,000 - will only fit it in Melbourne, they need it for a week.

Almost imported a van from Aussie that had been certified to have the window out.
In the end the cost was horrendous to get it here and complied.
But certainly you should think of a tail tent.
We have one for ours
Have a look on eBay for
Rightline SUV tail tent.
Awesome saves the aerobic clothes change.
Fits all vans etc

Cheers Kiwivan

Hey All,

thought I'd let you know what I've been up to lately

In the last few months I've been to Mackay/Eungella, Isla Gorge and most recently a 6 day, 4,000k trip to Sydney to see Grinspoon


I went back to Crackow






Theodore





Seventeen Seventy






Got to see a Platypus






Mackay region

Fell in love with an Overlander





I did'nt buy it, yet...

Some may remember the old ute in the middle of a dam I posted a while back, I went back that way, Ute's still there but the dam has gone. The country is a tinder box

Took some back roads




















Dawson River by the Dawson highway at Moura







Got dirty













And clean again










Did a little Bushwalking












And back to the beach

[Camper]

Went camping at Isla Gorge




















The road to Isla





I got breath tested the next morning, 10am on a Tuesday in the middle of nowhere, cops on both sides of the road stopping all. It can happen anywhere

Tomorrow I'll post the Sydney trip, for now some sunset porn

I beleive you're right, it kinda makes me want to time travel back to when it was new and more roads were dirt!

Great photos Camper. Great car to do it in.

Having just got back to home (South of Sydney) from a trip camping at Wreck Rock (near 1770) I have a new appreciation to just how big QLD is, and how much ground Camper has actually travelled. I was 550 km up the coast of QLD but that's basically just in the south east corner when you look at a map of the whole state.

Lucky you, that is a beautiful area.

And you must have gone almost as far as me, I'm only about 400Ks from 1770

I have yet to crack 100,000Ks in Sandie - getting close though. I have to go to Adelaide next week and briefly considered driving there and back via Alice Springs in a week.... that would be a 7,000k trip, a little too much to enjoy in 7 days.

I did drive from Central Queensland to Adelaide and back in 2014, through NSW and Vic. I took 2 weeks Vacay and spent 4 days in Adelaide. Great trip and I got to see lots, but me and Mum traveling in a 2 door Lancer was a bit much.
