I can't believe that it has been 2 years now that I have been on the road! A lot of the newbies won't know me as I haven't been on here too much lately. I'm a Kiwi, who sold up all to come over here, buy a m/home and drive around the block! I've done, Vic, SA, NT and WA. It's taken me two years because I am not old eno...

At the age of 74 the thought of a 10 year plan is very daunting but I have decided on a 12 month one. I emigrated to Australia in 1959 and ever since then have been married and mortgaged, always wanting to travel Australia but never actually taken the opportunity to do it. Now after marriage seperation I fi...

Hiya all, Well I finally found the tug for the van. A 2005 Nissan Navara 3.0l diesel and for some reason I started calling her Bertha (one of the Butt Sisters) maybe it's because she's a bit of a big beast!!!

Hello, I am new here and not sure I belong, I am still in my late 30s with only a few grey hairs :) I am going to travel Australia for a year on my own. It will be a mix of camping of my station wagon and housesitting and picking up work where I can to keep the funds moving. As you can imagine there don't seem to be m...
