And then there were 5...

Tents, that is.  First, we bought a tiny little First Light Shadow bushwalking tent.  Then, with Ben on the way, we bought a palatial two-room Sportiva thing (something similar to this).  That was too big for weekend trips, so we got a smaller 5-man Coleman tent (similar to this).  The Sportiva was still too big, but we wanted something slightly bigger than the Coleman for a few days, so last year we got a Freedom Invert 6.
Now, we're thinking of going tramping as a whole family, so we needed a second tramping tent to fit all of us and still be light enough to carry.  Torpedo7 had this Kelty on special this week, so #5 has been acquired:

PS.  Yes, we should sell some of them, specifically the Sportiva and the Coleman, neither of which we will probably use anytime in the near future.  If anyone is coming to visit and wants to go camping, maybe you should come soon before we sell them!

Would either the Sportiva or the Coleman be suitable for us? We've been talking about aquiring a tent for use when we're in Australia for a while now.

Depends what you are wanting to do with it and what you what to fit in the tent/car.
