Semi retirement has come at last, although bit scary I have twelve months to see if I like it. 

Next three weeks packing and getting van set and loaded then hit the rd on our lap around. 12th April is d day

I agree - once you are out here on the road - you won't ever want to go back to work! I reckon it takes around six months to learn to slow down, no rush, stay another day, before you know it - you are hooked!!! Good luck in your travels.

Peter. Jules is so right - once you slow down and smell the roses and actually see at your own speed all the things around you (you'll be amazed out whats out there in your own State that you've never had the time to visit and really look at) - you wont want to go back to work.

You've done the hard yards, now enjoy life while youre (presumably) in good health - don't leave it till youre too old and infirm to get out there and hop with some Roos and wom with some wombats lol

Enjoy your travel - and don't overplan. You have years to see all the great things in Australia
