Have fun guys, we have just settled in tassie after almost 3 yrs on the road. I remember how we felt heading off with no real time limit and free to go where we wanted to. Hope you have a great time, there is heaps to see out there. If you make it to Tassie feel free to look us up and drop in for a chat/coffee/whatever.

Thanks for your kind words . :)
Must admit it is rather daunting but can't wait to get going. We decided it would be wise to buy a site to keep in contact with family as they all have internet and it saves on phone calls . Plus with cams and mics we can still see and talk to the g/kids so might stop us missing them as much. And by adding pics and videos they can enjoy our trip from afar . It was either that or they threatened to stalk us lol .

I'm sitting here , its Saturday morning and I'm looking forward to my two days off when I read your thread - BUGGA! - You have just upset my weekend. (Read very jealous into previous comment) We took off for three months last year and had a ball , it should have been three years so I'm sure you both will enjoy your future experiences. My neighbour hit the road before we did and still has not made it back home, I find life is full of Buggas Ah? Take care, Regards Alanc

Don't know how many grandchildren you have but when we did our great escape we gave each of the grandchildren a certificate that entitled em to a free trip anywhere in Aus to meet up with us for a week. That saved us getting too homesick wanting to see them and gave the kids a bit of a look at parts of Aus they wouldn't normally see.

hey you guys

We did just the same in april this year from brissie and it has been the best thing we have ever done.
Telling the bosses we wont be coming to work anymore was the first highlight of the journey,meeting great people on the road is another bonus.
There is so much work out there that people beg and bribe us to stay longer.
Best tip I can give you is take it slow stay off the major highways cruise the back roads 60/80 is fast enough, on the dirt even slower, less fuel ,less damage all round. Take your time and enjoy this country this is the smartest decission you have ever made..over 18,000kms so far and we wont be back in brissie till 2014

see you out there somewhere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have plenty of hours up towing before you head off. It is a common occurrence for people to overestimate their capability in heading off and particularly overtaking, taking out another. It can be a real danger when you get tired but please take care.
