Ok, so we haven't got the camper trailer yet...

... but we have us, the beagles, the car and some pretty cool plans!

It's all Paul's fault. Here we are, happily camping away in our you-beaut Oz Tent, when he suggests that set up and pack up will be soooo much quicker with a camper trailer. Well, twist my rubber arm, I say.

Next thing we know, we're in Melbourne at the 4WD Show in September 2010, we've narrowed down from a big list of potential candidates, and got a quote for an Aussie Swag camper trailer.

Fast forward a few months that seem like they'd never end, and we're on the cusp of getting our new family member. Not long now, not long now...

In the mean time, for those that care (us), here is what is going to take our home away from home on the highways and byways...
