Hi Everybody

[Sincek]

Haven't hammocked yet, but doing a 600km bike ride down the coast of Western Australia
(mundabiddi.org.au)
I live in Sydney.
Not going till November, our summer.
I was looking at the WBBB XLC with an edge tarp, I'm 6foot. 250pounds according to google.
About $450 Aus posted. Might keep an eye on eBay, this forum etc. to get something comparable at half the price.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt

Welcome Matt. Sounds like a good adventure.

sincek/Matt- Hello, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the beginning of the (most restorative) rest of your life. As you've doubtless already been persuaded, your adventures are about to assume a little more significance, as you transition away from however was it that you'd used to fritter away your nocturnal hours of inactivity and recovery. Time's come for you, and, you feel it down there, in the deeper parts of you, time's come, to wise up and rise up. I've been to the land of your people, and (you'll know what I mean), frankly, I wouldn't be comfortable lying on the "ground" in my own house! Lots of ways to get one's night wrecked! Anyway, seems our man SimonMc may have some things to say, regarding getting you up above the worst of what Australia's nights turn loose upon the face of the red continent. "Lucky Country"? Cheers, mate, and welcome aboard!
