I am enquiring if anyone can tell me how to have mail forwarded to you when you are travelling on the road full time with no fixed address.
Is there a service available that you can have you address set up as and all your mail is sent there for forwarding on when notified?
I am planning to retire soon and travel Australia indefinately and will have no fixed address, however for items such as vehicle registration, insurance etc I will require an address for.
Can anyone offer any advice to this???
Cheers

That's a bit of a tricky one. Only thing I can suggest, if you have a rough itenary is to have your mail sent to "Poste Restante" at the various GPO's along your way.
Of course you'll miss out if you pass through somewhere to early.
Say rego is due in August and you're going to be travelling through
Roma e.g.
You would need to arrange to have it sent there.
Better to have it all sent to a friend/rele who could forward it to your intended location at each individual time it occurs.

If you have a good friend or relation ask them to be your permanent address. That way you can contact them when you are moving to the next place. Either your mail will be there or you will wait a day or two for it to catch up. With a mobile phone you ask for a payment card, make a date when your bill is normally due and ring them on their toll free number to find out the amount of the bill. Then pay by phone or card.
Or you can buy a P.O.Box and have your mail forwarded by Australia Post at a nominal cost.
We spent 5 years on the road and operated out of a P.O.Box with friends
clearing it every so often.
