On a recent day trip to Charlie Moreland camping area, I was surprised to be reminded of the popularity of BlackWolf tents, with three in the camping ground. I am a fan of BlackWolf tents. I own a Turbo Plus 300 and was recently given the opportunity to test the new 2012/13 model Turbo Plus 240 tent. When we stayed on Stradbroke Island at Adder Rock Holiday Park, there were three BlackWolf tents in the camping ground, … more »
The optional front and side panels for the new BlackWolf Turbo Plus 240 tent gives a very handy vestibule area under the new, larger, three-pole awning. We used it to shelter from the wind and sun, and also to store gear out of sight of prying eyes while we were away from the camp site. I was recently given the opportunity to test the new model 2012/2013 BlackWolf Turbo Plus 240 tent. Our first trip … more »

We contemplated moving camp site, but my wife was adamant that she wanted to be right on the beach … more »

When I purchased my first swag — a Burke & Wills Ironbark swag … more »
I purchased a BlackWolf Turbo Plus 300 today from Down Under Camping at the Caravanning Queensland 2010 Pre-Christmas Caravan & Camping Sale. On our last camping trip I performed the tent set-up in a stiff 20-knot breeze coming straight down the Noosa River to our camp site at the Noosa River Caravan Park.
