Sorry forgot to reply to your question re... what do we do for work ...we work in Health safety and enviro ..mostley in mining companies , at moment working in oil and gas.We have beeb on the road for about 12 years and would not have it any other way.We decided to sell our house as the type of work we are in we were just a slave to it. ..Another house can come latter if ever there will be latter.If we are travelling from one job to the next we always free camp,but while we are working we have to stay in caravan parks.If we are real lucky some times the mine sites have a place you can unhitch and stay there. We have lived and worked in every state , there is good and bad in every state, you just have to be awear of it and not get around with rose coloured glasses on.

 Hi John,the one bit of advice we would give you is talk and communicate with other travellers,we are stll learning the ropes after 12 years .... maybe we are just slow learners.The other bit of advice is don't a GPS all the time.Stop worrying it's an adventure and mistakes will be made.  But the world won't end . So sit back and just enjoy the ride ...
