Hey, I don't know if it is appropriate to start with multiple questions from a newbie, but here goes.. My wife and I are seriously considering buying a caravan, renting the house out and doing a 2 year trip around this beautiful land. We'll be working our way around.

As one of the older fellas on this forum (in age) I find myself wondering if I should continue to look at the sites and places that I have been to With a preference towards the bush and the early settlers and there endeavores to tame this country A lot of them have become nothing more than a tourist trap s...
