The house is all packed up,the container arrives in the am.the money goes in the bank & we're off to wa., to be closer to the 'grandies'.I'm the only grandparent they've got, so I'll be able to ''influence'' them BIG TIME ,can't wait!
Gotta get a job & somewhere to live , then start to explore!! Maybe I'll put the first 2 into the 'too hard' basket & go with the third?[lol].
Well, better have another cuppa,then start packin the 4b , have a good day..
Phil..

Hi Phil
We too are just about to start our 'escape'. We have applied for a job in
Coober Pedy and are waiting on results. We too may end up in the West. By the way...where did you source your container? We need to store our stuff. Where are you going to put the container? Sending it West???
cya on the road

Phil, good luck with it all.
When you get to my age its the things that you didnt try and do that you regret, not the things that you did.
Our sea change was moving to Qld 20 years ago, leaving friends and family behind. Neither of us have ever regretted it.

Oh Phil, you made the decision! Hope you enjoy living in
Perth and being Grandy - best wishes on the trip. Might catch you over there next year - we should at least get a start 'on the wallaby' sometime next year. Keep in touch via EO.
