Hi all. Debbie here from little ole Tassie. My husband, Paul and I (oh and mustn't forget to mention Josh), have just purchased our motorhome in readiness for our big trip next year. Until then we will have to settle for small trips to the Big Island and touring our beautiful Little Island. No doubt we will have zillions of questions to ask, and according to Old Crofter aka Bob and Rhonda, this is the place to ask them.

Cheers for now and hope to meet many of you in our travels.

Welcome to the gang justcampin, enjoy here and out in the playground, big and small.

Nothing wrong with the small island and I tell you that for free. I have not long been back from there and enjoyed everyday.

Welcome from another Taswegian (South of the Oatlands border).

I am also pretty new to this site, but had lurked around for months before I joined.
Nice people and good advice will be coming your way.

PJK.

Thanks Dougwe, PJK and Mongrel for the welcoming.

You are correct Dougwe there is absolutely nothing wrong with this marvelous Little Island and when we decide next year to travel for a few years on the Big Island it will be a very sad departure, as we will miss her greatly. But having said that we are so excited to get on the Spirit and explore the mainland.

Hi to fellow Taswegian, PJK, may we meet up on the road one day...

You are so right about Bob and Rhonda Mongrel they are great people. We lived near them for app 19 years when we had the farm. But when we down sized we sold the lot and moved back into town. We still see them but I dont get my cappuccino every day like I used to on my way home from walking young Josh (and Josh misses his smackos)

Hope to meet you all and many more in the near future.

Deb
