G'day Leonie,
Can't say I am a big fan of camping anymore myself, OK on the beach if you don't have to get up and go to work in the morning. A few years ago a couple of mates of ours and Sheryl and I decided we would go on a camping holiday to Queensland...(spent the first week trying to keep dry...bloody sunshine state my bum) Anyway, Sheryl has never done any camping to speak of and was a bit wary about it all, I had a good heavy tent and we bought her a double swag....I just got to sleep out side most of the time, our mates had a bloody great camper trailer which could sleep about six, had everything that opens and shuts in it and probably doubles the fuel consumption of the car pulling it! As we were discussing the trip and what we needed to take, Elaine, our mate said to me while trying to get her way,"I think we might have done a bit more camping than you Ross!"....I replied "Yeah I 'spose so, if you don't count the 5 years living in a swag under a mulga tree out in the Pit lands!"......."Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Some of them forget that people actually still camp as part of their job...or used to at least. Most blokes won't camp now unless they have a donga with an ensuite!
