PacRakMG- Oh that app sounds great except we never have phone reception where ever we go. It's a real get away for us when we deliberatly get away from phone reception. Dh is 2IC of a buisness and carries 2 phones...Ugh one of them is always going off so it kind of forces dh to get away from work. Wink!

Nai- that sound like fun! I bet the kids thought it was a hoot.

Lenny- now that is an idea....(menstral cup) I have AF a few times camping but it's never really bothered me but now you mention it a MC would make things a lot nicer.

AH yes we do enjoy a good chest beating from time to time, giggle. We only really started roughing it again good and proper early last year after we replaced the old car. We bought a newish 4x4 twin cab... cause I killed our old commodore....from 4x4ing it a little too much....AH it seams dirt roads 4 times a day didn't agree with it too much after about 6 years in a car that was over 10 years old......Before that dh,ds,myself and the dog used to rough it in the old 4x4 ute but as soon as dd came along all that stopped. We exceded our people to seats ratio. roll eyes! Smile.
Loving the freedom the new car brings us. It suits or lifestyle so much better. We have a horse as well so I can get my own feed now, go 4x4ing, camping, the boys enjoy fishing from time to time in remote river systems, and we plan to do a trip to the Alice and Uluru once the new bubs is not so new. We were planning to go late last year but I got sick so that came to a screaching holt which was kind of a good thing now I look back. Oh and I can tow almost anything and it's no bother at all! I spruke the twin cabs! I'm a convert. I love that I can pack the back with all the camping equipment and just go. Now all I have to do is convince dh camping on a regular weekend is sooooo worth it. I have been known to take the kids and the dog midweek but dh gets a little cranky when I do that...I think he thinks he's missing out.
