Hi all, Thanks for a great informative site Derek...I know the members make it what it is but 'owners' are the mainframe of a site. Hopefully I will be able to contribute in the future.

As for myself, my wife and I try to getaway for a couple or three weeks in spring and autumn each year. Our 2 daughters have long left the nest. We camp in a camper behind a little Suzuki Vitara. We love the bush and try not to drive feeways and main roads.

Our only real pet hate is the ever more controlling NPWS. Soon we will not even to be able to have a camp oven in a NP....and that is something that will effect COCIA sooner or later.

I can't wait to try some of the recipes and hints...thanks to all that contribute.

Thanks again for a great looking site....I'm off to go exploring now!

Greetings and Salutations campinggolfer. Might be a bit slow on here for the next short while as I think many people are off to CO (camp oven) cookouts and meet n greet events.

Have a look around and - welcome!

Welcome campinggolfer..

Plenty of good times and hints on this site mate.
Shame about the National Parks..
We gotta let the Govt know every chance we get that we're not happy about their policies.

This is why we are all starting to use Heat Beads. As much as I love sitting around a camp fire at night I think we have to accept that to preserve our parks and wildlife it is going to be a thing of the past before too long.
