I thought I had introduced my self ....but, I hadn't.......yikks.... I feel like I have barged into a party without knocking......
We are excited about taking ownership of our New mini 4x4 motorhome in about six weeks. We really have no idea what we will do or where we will go...except we will!
I have no real knowledge of RVing in Australia, and joined this site looking to be able to make myself a lot more "Travel intelligent" and connect with others. I hope to eventually have some input and not just drain the knowledge base...:)
My sweetie and I have enjoyed travelling on our road bike and tenting, had a pop top for a few months, years ago...sailed for 12 years on our cruising boat, and recently came back from RVing in USA and Canada for 12 months, this trip prompted us to buy a Motorhome instead of another boat.
cheers Sharon

Hi Everyone, thank you for the welcome.
And Yes, Travel Bug, one of my paintings from my time painting in Italy, I am so glad you like it.
Grubby,
Wombats have an extraordinarily slow Metabolism I am told, and move slowly, and because of this are known for taking shortcuts. Mmm also, I do know Wombats defend home territories and they react aggressively to intruders.
So I do hope you can keep the Wombat under control, sounds like a nasty sort of type too me.
Cheers to all..:)

You're not wrong Sharon, we find a good clip around the ears with a cricket bat seems to settle him down...
