Howdy there - introduction

Howdy everyone. I'm newish to Down Thunder and i'd like to introduce myself. My name is Lorne Smith and i'm a camping, touring and 4wd enthusiast. I live in Perth and my wife and I have 2 kids and drive an NW Pajero which I can't speak highly enough of - hugely under-rated machine. I took a redundancy from my job to concentrate on a few other things - and we're currently 2 weeks in to an 8 week jaunt through the middle of Oz. We're currently in Alice Springs - great place. Thank you for allowing me to join and look forward to following the site's excellent content.
