I have been a visitor here for a long time but took the plunge and joined up.
I presently have a caravan but have found it too hard to handle to due sub-standard health.
The plan is to change to a camper-van to continue with the travel i love doing.
I have found a lot of inspiration from a lot of people that are members here.
My hero is "Happy Wanderer". I loved reading of her trials and tribulations that I could read while at work in the Middle East, thinking how I would have loved to have been able to help her if I was at home.
Thank goodness people do follow their dreams, some times against what feels impossible.
Cheers.

So you're now a member instead of being a lurker Bear. Welcome!
I have very dear friends living in Bundy and Bargara. It's a very familiar town to me. As Marj said, check out the thread under 'Get togethers' for details of our meet near Gympie in May.

I did say earlier that Uncle Al is hanging around me Marj. I must say though, on the end of the camera is close by, that's my excuse anyway. I hope all's well up your way Marj.

Welcome to another Brian.
Hope you get to follow your dreams as many of us are.
Its a great life and someone has to do it so put your hand up and get out there. Too many times you here the "I would love to do that BUT". What a load of crap, in this life only you can change it so get up and get going or you will dir without the experience.
My moto is to slide into the grave sideways yelling YAHOO what a life. If they find me that is.
Regards Brian

That would be great Brian. The meet will sort of hang around for up to two weeks with different ones coming and going, would be great if you were able to pop in during that time from 14th May onwards. You must have wondered when you came back on here to see your thread hijacked by a pack of sillies. But we are all good. Well most of us anyway.

I'd keep a wary eye on Wombat also, he doesn't hide down his hole for nothing you know.
