Well guys it has been 12 months since I started this lifestyle full time and guess what?.....I love it.

I have travelled from ACT to Mt Isa through western NSW and Qld and back via the NSW coast .Free camping all the way

Then I went down to Green Lake in Vic. For 6 weeks  over Xmas where I met a large number of fantastic fun loving GNs  some nutters, and a nice lady as well.

 Oh well, then I went along the Murray River free camping along the way where I did some house sitting at Blanchetown and had a look at Adelaide.

Went north again through  Burra, Broken Hill, Bourke, Burren Junction,  Moree, Texas, Toowoomba, Childers, Monto, Dawson River, Lloyd Jones Weir (Barcaldine), Sapphire, Lake Elphinstone, Dingo, Miles, Toowoomba, Nobby, Beaudesert.  I am here for a couple of months to see my kids and grandkids, and then its off again for parts unknown

 

I hope to meet some of you again and to greet many more new friends out there in this great country of ours. Stay safe and happy peoples..Sarg.

Sarg - all I can say is I'm extremely jealous and full of envy....also really pleased you clearly 101% enjoyed yourself whilst mixing with fellow minded humans. We've been to many of the places you've mentioned and all bring back good memories. We'd be there too but just of late we've 'inherited' 2 teenage girls till the end of the year so we are grounded till then.
Good Luck.

Glad to see you have enjoyed yourself, and are happy to have met some great people. It was good to meet up with you at Greens, and see you also at Wuruma and Monto.

We were in Boonah until yesterday, not sure if we are going back there, have a few things to do on the northside of Brissy, before we head south to the cold, and then west.

Time flies when you are having fun... and as you get older (but we don't mention that one).

I recon we should all review the past 12 months, makes you realise how fast its gone and the fun we have all had in the playground.

We met some great nomads at Pildappa, saw some amazing things, damaged the caravan and now the ute, learnt some new, non drinking, skills in the vineyards, had some great times with our kids and grandkids.

Good lord we are so blessed its scary.

Cheers
