Being stuck at home, like a lot of other people around the world, I decided to use this time to expand some of my photography skills. One of the things I have been practising is my focus stacking skills on macro subjects and I found a dead moth that was the perfect subject. The images were...

Thanks - unfortunately mine hasn't been trouble free :frowning: :frowning: First the Suction Control Valve went, then the fan in the aircon / heater unit (I haven't fixed this), then the transmission / coolant system went, then the front Dvr side wheel bearings, then the injectors, then the...

Here are a couple of my D40 Navara - which is an ongoing work in progress :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Karl

Was going through some photos from a few years ago for another project and found a photo of my set up just after I got it. My Campertrailer is a Pioneer 'Longreach' rear fold out - we love it and can't wait to take it out camping when this mess is over. Karl

This is my awning and tent set up - I made the extension over the Easter break as I needed somewhere to place all my cooking gear and somewhere to sit. Hope this helps. Karl

Been using the quiet time to do some modifications to my camp set up. I have a 2 x 2.5m awning and when I camp I have an awning tent that fits under it to give me shelter and protection from bugs etc but I didn't have anywhere to sit in shade or set up my cooking gear etc so I decided to use...

Certainly was :grinning: :grinning: :grinning: Karl

Was going through my images the other day and found these two photos - whilst strictly not 'camp photos' they were taken when camping :grinning: Karl Lighting the bonfire The next day in the afternoon preparing for dinner.

Here are a couple of photos from sunrise and sunset recently from my home on the west coast of Australia. Karl Sunrise - Mushroom Rock, Point Peron Sunset, Cockburn Sound

I guess that it is the same as everywhere else. I had a couple of trips planned into some remote country over the next two months but have had to cancel them :disappointed: :disappointed: - but once this mess is over I am heading out bush for a few days :grinning::grinning: I live on the west...

You are welcome anytime - we aren't that far away :grinning: Karl

Here in Australia Campertrailers (as we call them) are extremely popular and over the last few years have become very robust and capable off road. Mine is an Australian made Pioneer 'Longreach' which is a rear foldout hard floor version - that is, when it is all packed up the floor is the roof...

Thanks for that - I guess we are all a bit mad at times :grinning: Karl

Thanks - I had a mozzie coil going on the first night which worked well to keep all of the bugs etc away but not the cows that walked through the campsite about 4 am heading to the dam :anguished: Karl

Thanks for that :grinning: Planning a couple of trips now, one to the Karra Rangelands (about 5 hours north east of Perth) and the Yilgarn (about 5 hours to the east of Perth) and hope to do some more videos of each trip. Karl

Part 2 - some photos from one of the tracks as we did a large 'jump-up' Karl

Last weekend (29 Feb - 02 Mar 20) was a long weekend here in Western Australia so I took members from my 4WD Club down to Nannup for the weekend. Nannup is about 2 1/2 hours south west from Perth and is in the Southern Forrest region with big forrests of Jarrah, Marri and Karri trees. Came...

Sorry, I should have said 'Work Load Limit (WLL) of 4.7 tonne (4700 kg) ' - tonne is also another word for metric ton which is the word we use in Australia. A tonne (or metric ton) is 1000 kg - 4.7 x 1000 kg = 4700 kg. Using this converter (Conversion Calculator) 4700 kg = 10 362 lbs Hope...

As I said, here in Australia hitches are rated - this is mine and it is rated to Work Load Limit (WLL) of 4.7 ton (4700 kg) which is about 10 362 lbs; having said that, you can buy cheap stuff off of EvilBay that won't be stamped but I only purchase my recovery gear from reputable retailers. Karl

Hi from Western Australia :grinning: Here are some images of my 2010 / 11 Nissan Navara D40 with the 2.5 litre turbo diesel motor and auto transmission. Fitted out with a whole heap of accessories. The images are from a recent trip into the southern forests of Western Australia. Karl...
