Hello All, 

Havent made up my mind where I'm heading at this time but will be Nth-ish NSW and on. Duration doesnt matter..biggrin

If anyone has suggestions please post them for me and others to read. Maybe one or more would like to catch up; who knows.

Thank you and may Solo-force be with you.. Colin

Welcome Colin. You might like to browse the responses to Arrabella Avan ( a few lines below your post) who is also just setting off. There are apparently plenty of us setting off alone for the first time.

Congratulations on your decision and welcome to the forum Vet.
We have enough Adelaideans here to have our own convention. Well, we could catch up some time. I love meeting fellow nomads.
Feel free to check out the topics previously covered by this site, and then feel free to ask questions.
There's a lot of information here, it's a great resource, and every nomad has a lot to share.
I wish you safe and happy travels.

Don't worry, when you leave Adelaide and set up on your first night may I suggest you burn your calender and throw away your watch.

Father time will keep check of the days you have left it is up to you to wring as much fun as you can in the time HE gives you.

Regards
Brian

Hello all,
First Cruising Granny, I couldnt sleep Mum so I got out of bed and VROOM>>>> In doing so I Veroomed right on past you, late at night.
Now in Menindee Lakes and what a great spot I chose. Only $18.00 a night, single.
Beiffe, watchless, dateless but have red wine, white wine and beer.
Should anyone be around the Lakes, I am in a camper trailer with dingy tied up along side, the tide is out...
