  1. No, they are not unfortunately. We did tell them about KOG and tried, Clive even wore his KOG shirt and name tag at drinks. They were even unaware of the Facebook page. this place is lovely, just been for a walk and watched the sunrise. ??
  2. We are on our way to the gathering at Kangaroo Valley. We have been through many kilometres of road works, on the Pacific highway, North Coast region. When completed in 2020 this will make travel between Sydney and Brisbane a breeze. At present there are major works going on building a bridge crossing the Clarence River. We are at present at Sawtell and camped next to two other Kedron vans, they are heading north.
  3. We have arrived at Kalbar Showgrounds for the Kedron Australia Day weekend. Looking forward to a great weekend with other Kedron owners. Now that we are all set up we are enjoying a cool drink in the shade of the van. Yes it is a bit warm, however there is a lovely breeze blowing. Enjoy Australia Day everyone. ??????????????
  4. Hello Jono and Becky, Welcome to the Kedron Family. As Tony said you are welcome to call into Kalbar and say hello. Kalbar is not far from the Cunningham Highway west of Ipswich if you are coming that way. We will be spending most of February travelling through NSW so our paths may cross. Safe travels, exciting times for you. We also agree what Peter has said Lawnton showgrounds is a great place to get to know your van before you hit the road. Cheers, Sandra and Clive
  5. Welcome Ernest, I’m sure you will have a great time in Tasmania, there will certainly be plenty of Kedron vans there at the same time. There will still be a few of us remaining on the mainland. Look forward to meeting you either on the road or at one of the gatherings. cheers, Clive and Sandra

  7. A big thank you to the webmaster for the ever changing photo on the web page banner (I think that is what it is called). It looks great.

    GCR Trip

    We did west to east six years ago and yes the whole NT section was rough then. Having a Kedron Van, no worries, just take your time and drive to the conditions. From Laverton to Yulara took three and half days. I’m sure other Members will have more update information. We enjoyed the experience, especially the camels. We passed 27 vehicles during the trip. We travelled this trip on our own. Enjoy the trip.
  10. Welcome to the group. Keep us informed of your travels, places you have visited and your next destination. Post this info in the Trip section. You never know someone might be in the same area and have a catch up. Kedron owners are friendly people (most are). Enjoy your travels. Sandra and Clive
  11. Thanks Chris for a great report. All going well we plan to do a the same trip to Alice Springs next year. I shall probably read your reports several times before then. Sandra
  12. Look forward to reading your report on these two "highways". Clive
  13. We are on our way, late start this morning stopping at Kandanga. See you tomorrow ???

  14. Welcome to the forum and to the Kedron Family. We too upgraded from an Aussie Swag camper trailer to a Kedron van, that was in 2002. Now on our second Keddy. Hope to see you on the road one day. Sandra and Clive
  15. I'm a rare type of person, Clive has been telling me that for years.???
  16. Hello Garry and Myret, Welcome to the wonderful life of caravanning. I'm sure you will enjoy your Kedron van. Why not join us at the gathering in August at Lake Redbrook, Childers. Cheers, Sandra and Clive
  17. Hello Gary, Totally agree with you. We have owned two Kedron vans over the past fifteen years and always found the staff very helpful and like you charges have been kept to a minimum. I remember David saying "Oh that's warranty work" on something we asked him to fix on our previous van, it was ten years old at the time. That's what I call good after sales service. Clive
  18. Welcome to the group. Love your new van. Hope you have some great times travelling this beautiful country of ours. cheers Clive and Sandra
  19. Sounds good, maybe when the weather cools a little we could have a gathering there.
  20. Hello Flo,

    I've  just finished another David Walliams book, The Midnight Gang. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it has some strong messages for kids.

    When I gave my grandson Tom the book I was reading at the Kedron Christmas Gathering, Grandpa Greatest Escape, he smiled with joy and told me that he knew about David Walliams from school and was excited to receive the book.

    The other day when I told him I had another book for him he was thrilled and went and got Grandpa's Greatest Escape for Nan to read. He then started to read it again and didn't want to give it back. A great kids author.

  21. At long last we now have comfortable lounge chairs in our van. We have talked about it for quite awhile, see previous posts. Hope there won't be the complaints about how "uncomfortable this lounge is".
  22. Hello and welcome KOG forum Have you checked the CAMEC website, they have the clocks listed in their catalogue for $25.95. You can purchase on line. Hope this is some help to you. Cheers
  23. Hello Pepper and welcome to the forum, We have owned two pre loved Kedron vans, one bought from them and the other a private sale. We have never had a problem with Kedron, they are a very fair company to deal with. The old pop top was ten years old and they did a couple of jobs FOC because as they said, that is warranty work. cheers
  24. Welcome to our group. By October caravan parks on the Sunshine Coast should have plenty of vacancies (at present they are fully booked out for the next couple of weeks). I agree with the others to spend a week with in easy reach of Kedron, just in case there maybe, although I doubt it, a couple of teething problems. Showgrounds are always a good place to stay as there is always plenty of room to manouver, some parks have very small sites. make sure you have Wiki camps and fuel map installed on phone/tablet/iPad, both very good tools when travelling. We like the fuel map as they tell you where in towns the fuel depots are and what price the fuel is, subject the the correct price being put on at the time. Happy travels and enjoy the experience, Clive and Sandra
