Our Touring Past

Wishing one & all a safe & joyous Christmas. And if you tipple,do it in the caravan not towing it

Likewise, Merry Christmas to all Forum users. The time has flown by yet again. Stay safe over the holidays. George and Barbara.

We too would also like to wish everyone a safe and merry Christmas.
I cant believe that this year is nearly over, I still have so many things left to do.
It has been another great year meeting new people and some very old friends, I also had the pleasure of meeting a few original caravan builders this year, collecting a little more history of the caravan industry in Australia.
The museum was also busy the first half of the year, but I had to cancel a couple of bookings after we sadly lost our dad in August, who was a great dad to us four kids and also the inspiration for starting this vintage caravan website as well.
So Linda, Joshua, Claire and I would like to wish every on a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.

Hello Everybloody

Well.... a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone... even if the well wishes are a bit late ( God bless Telstra and the new NBN too )

2016 is just around the corner...... I was sitting back the other day thinking ... 2016.. wow,,,, I am getting older by the year..well aren't we all.

I can remember back in 1969 when I was leaving school and starting my first job . I was already working out what year I could retire....Hey.. there is no harm in planning ahead
That retirement date is looming close now and more and more I am having thoughts about what to do with all the spare time I am gunna have...
Tackle the bucket list ??...Hmmmmm.. I have already done a pretty thorough job on "The bucket"
Lifes been good.

But ... I haven't worn out the enthusiasm for travelling...... weather its in a vintage van towed by an old car .. or I go down the path of the other 12,000,000 grey nomads I can be happy in knowing I have a stack of good friends from the V V world scattered around Australia to drop in on while travelling and share some good times with.
Likewise anyone that finds themselves in the Newcastle district on their travels are always welcome to call in for a beer or a cuppa.

Looking forward to cruising up to the vint van get together at Evans Head in Late January , the Tour to the inaugural OTP Rally at SWR in March / April. ...Christmas in July .. wherever that may be ??.. Shell Harbour in October .... and what ever comes along on the Vintage Van Calendar throughout the year.

Anyway... Trish and I hope you and your family have an enjoyable New Years Eve and a Prosperous, Healthy, Happy and Safe New Year.

Until we meet...
Happy Trails
