Well, we have sold our property at last. Feeling very flat at the moment. Now we have to find a new place to live, and then buy a new vehicle to tow a van. I might not be able to buy a van that I had planned, cause I took a big drop in price, but thems the breaks. We will be out there soon.

We are now officially on the road. We are looking for an online app that will mark not only where we have been, but the route taken to get there, so we can share our travels with the family. We've looked at Travellerspoint, but that isn't quite right. Anyone use this kind of thing, and have any recommenda...

Hi there, really value feedback on what route/journey/distance you would choose to travel if you had a 3 month timeframe. We are planning leaving from NSW in April 2015 but don't want our trip to be rushed by trying to fit too much in. We do not have an off-road setup but caravan equipped for free campin...

This van came out from a rest area just before I over took. Severe lean to the right and tow ball about a foot too high. Once it got up some speed it had a fair old wobble. Glad I was in front at that stage I think I have attached the file from dash camera
