Forget the sparkling water smile I'll settle for a nice scotch n dry or Jimmy n coke or nice red or even a cold beer biggrin

Sounds like some itchy feet in Brisy biggrin

Sounds to me like this free camping business soon becomes an addiction that's not apparent until we stop. Must be some primeval nomadic instinct that stirs from hibernation once we hit the road and taste the freedom. A wanderlust.

You are right there Gary - it is an addiction - yes a wanderlust!

I love heading down a road, looking at everything around me, marvelling at the different shades of green in the bush, wondering what the next camp will be like, who will we meet there, it is indeed a wonderful life.

Could not agree more Jules. Gary you are so right, I was only thinking this morning when all I wanted to was some doona diving instead of getting on with life, how much my life has changed over the past 12months, and for the better I believe.

I have gone from a real home body who loved nothing more than decorating my home, making sure it was all spick and span, and looking at doing an interior decorating course, to a person who cannot wait to see what it around the next corner, if it is in the bush somewhere even better. I look forward to meeting new people, having a chat and watching the world go past. This country has so much to offer and there are so many wonderful, beautiful people out there, that one never meets in a city.

My wanderlust is sitting right on the surface, and I am ready to hit the road again. I have another 2 plus weeks to be here and it has been great to get a few things done, and just to sit for a bit, but now the tar is calling me again. It is lonely also living in a house, the people at the shops look at me as if I am mad when I start a conversation, hmmm maybe they are right, but certainly a different way of life and one that I have no desire to settle back into permanently any time soon.

Gary I really hope that your upcoming surgery is successful so you can get out there and join the rest of us wonderfully excited people.

Thanks, Shekon. My older bro said in an email this morning that he admired my attitude and willingness to go through the hassle of a second major operation. But I wonder if I would be so willing if it weren't for the Nomad carrot dangling on the end of that six month stick. Hehe. It's all your fault! And yours too, Jules.
