G'Day Milo from beautiful downtown Ulladulla. Welcome to the forum
Caravaning in whatever type of RV you happen to have would have to be one of the best lifestyles you can have.
Any info or advice that you could ever want can usually be found somewhere in this forum and if not then there are plenty of us GN's only too able and willing to provide you with answers.
Hope you enjoy your travels and drive safely. Remember Happiness is a voyage not a destination.
Cheers
Ma

And a welcome from me too Jason. I'd love to take my daughters with me for trips. They're home bodies, and their mother's a gypsy.
You're a good son. You must have a good dad.
I bought my caravan from Culburra Beach in 2006, and enjoyed my short stay in your town.
I don't know if you need to join any club to travel this huge spacious country.
Have a plan and keep it flexible. Between you and your dad have a bit of an idea of the places you want to travel to, pull out of the driveway and away you go.
Make sure you are both familiar with your vehicle, if you're both going to drive.
Do some homework on the roads and country through which you may be travelling. Google maps "terrain" will give you a really good idea of the country you may go through.
Oz is a big country with a lot of dirt between the dots on the map. Don't drive too many hours in a day, park up and enjoy the towns and places you visit. Do lots of sightseeing. Thanks to the internet you can do a lot of homework before leaving home.
Feel free to ask we Nomads lots of questions if you have them.
I retired from the media in '96 and I still miss some aspects of it. Not a "jock" though, I was a journo - freelance, with the emphasis on "free". Safe travels. Cheers Chris
