We started "travelling" when friends from our town in Victoria moved to Emerald in Queensland in 1981. Went up to visit them, got the travel bug and just kept on travelling. Began with small cars...kept doing mufflers because we kept veering off onto dirt roads...upgraded to a Pajero in 1993 and now have a Prado. What this post is about really is : Why do we all travel? What makes you want to get out there. Is it adventure, is it for seeing the wonderful, interesting, iconic or just everyday places and people of Australia? Or is it for the getting off the beaten track and testing yourselves and your vehicles.
I read everyone's posts and it seems we have such a variety of people here..all with different ideas and travel experiences. Would be interested in hearing from some of you...
For me it's the places, people,the history of the explorers, drovers, early settlers, the scenery and just inquisitiveness and desire to stand on the edges, heights , to visit the cities and towns...see how the people live. I love to go to the Shows, Rodeos, Concerts, Festivals etc... I don't necessarily want to put ourselves and vehicle through extreme driving..but am happier off the main roads and/or the bitumen. If there is an alternative road or track then that is the one that I want to take.
Sorry this is long winded and maybe not a proper post...just got curious to know what makes you all travel.
