We are just getting organised to become Grey Nomads. We have sold our house and have no contacts here that we can use as a mail address. One option is to rent a Post Office Box and then get mail sent on from that to whereever we happen to be. Does anyone know of other options ?.

I watched 60 minutes article on the grey nomads and they featured Barn Hill in Western Australia. I gather it is up the coast right on the sea. Could anyone please tell me where it is as it really looks fantastic as a secluded place to camp away from the hussle and bussle.
