Well the decision has been made. At the ripe old age of 55 (wife 56) we have decided it is time to give up the
well paid (ha ha) city jobs and head out on an extended trip around this great country. We will have to work on the way around but it seems that their is plenty of work in the bush so long as you are willing to have a go at anything. We hope to be able to spend the next 5 or 10 years (health willing) out on the road and hopefully get to meet a few of the members of this
forum on the way
So the countdown has begun. Need to do some work on the house so we can rent it out, a bit of work on the Troopy so that I can carry my tinny and a touch of work on the near new van to make us as self reliant as possible.
Hopefully we will be away by the middle of the year but if not then before the end of the year.

Lewis, At last, a scenario we can relate to. A little younger perhaps, but as my father (82 yrs old) says... "while you can". My partner and I are planning to exit the rat race on "the trip" at years end or soon after. Working our way around is a given, but, being of the work ethic generation, that should not pose a problem. I am sure that you are in the planning stage as we are. Not surprisingly, there are a lot of things to consider!
Hope to see you around the stump.
Neil & Brenda
