Hello all, I drive a Pajero Sport, I have bought a camper trailer and hope to hit the road soon. NUMBAT is the plate on the car, so it does tend to start conversations. :) First test trip will be from the Mornington Peninsula to Menindee, then up to Tenterfield. See you out there. Miles

My lovely Wife and myself [ both grey nomads ] are in the process of updating from van to motorhome to travel afar as a bit uneasy about towing van long distances. Hopefully will catch up with some fellow nomads along the way! All the very best to all!
