you have done the right thing.18 months ago i woke up and said i do not want to be part of this never ending madhouse. so my partner and i bought a van(we had never owned one before),quit our jobs,sold our house and hit the road.I can honestly say it is the best decision i have ever made.I feel so much better in myself and my partner, who had some reservations about selling the house,does never again want the hassles of paying rates , insurance etc. We have seen some amazing scenery and met some beautiful people on the way.We mainly free camp and are currently at gladstone campground in W.A. overlooking the ocean.A view money can't buy.So again well done and let the future look after itself. Les and Donna

Hubby and I have sold the house and put keepsakes in storage they will probaly go eventualy to we can't wait to hit the road . We are planning on going up the middle to Darwin then across to Perth, We will get there when we get there as who knows how many off roads we will take and how long we will stay there. All the ones who have put up barriers to us doing this we have just said that we can still keep in touch most of the time, who knows this lifestyle mightn't suit us but I dont think so. We are going to be financialy better off no rates and taxes. WE are looking forward to meeting members on the road

Way to go Dougwe make it happen mate. Wendy and I are only in our late 50's and we are on the wallaby by xmas

, we will run our business from the road. and have no fixed address. after what I have just been through I realize that life is so precious

I have come through looking at the grass from the green side instead of the drown side. I got a  second chance at life that not many get.

so every day now is a bonus that I am cherishing  like you would not believe.

Have fun mate catch you in the playground.biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Cheers

The Hats
