Camping at Briagalong.....

Post by splittychick »

So me & my girl have done a bunch of trips in the last few monrhs from Old Bar to The Great Ocean Rd to Adelaide & now to a gorgeous part of the Victorian bush called Briagalong.I went uo with a bunch of friends for a week over the new year period....it was perfect weather to swim all day & sit around the campfire at night & the perfect summers nights to sleep in the kombi with a beautiful breeze flowing through the flyscreen in the top....i had a great time & just thought id share a couple of my pics of Gidge enjoying the bush......

Looks like a great trip... is your bus a Canterbury Pitt conversion? It looks like it from the inside, did you do the pop top canvas yourself? Where did you get the roof rack and what size is it?

Cheers

Hey Jono i actually have no idea what sort of pop top it is all i know is that the whole bus was converted to a camper in the early 70's by a camper mob in Sth Australia.I have a canvas lady that lives not far from me so i got her to make me up a new canvas as the one on it was pretty cactus!!
From memory I got the roofrack from Classic VW in Sydney.....i had to bend it a little to fit on as they are designed to sit further back on the gutter where it doesnt taper in so therefore if you look closely it sits on a little bit of an angle which bugged me a little at first but now i dont even notice it. :D
