Have just come across this great forum and would like to introduce myself because I'm sure I'll have lots of questions and have already enjoyed reading the many posts here. We have just sold our house in Sydney and are about to embark on our great adventure around oz. So far the plan is to travel until we find somewhere where we want to live - so that could take quite some time! We leave mid November (our official date to becoming grey nomads) to pick up our Kimberley Karavan in Armidale where we have had it stored then head to Tassie for Christmas with my sister then it's a roll of the dice where we go after that. Anyway, look forward to reading and chatting with you all.

I think dazren must be sick, cos he usually has a go at wombat and his post in here did not mention wombat, there must be something wrong with him

Welcome to the forum Helen. You will get lots of advice here (some good some bad). Just watch out for that Wombat, sometimes he can be a bad influence.
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum Helen. Its a wonderful life being Grey Nomads and I envy you the selling up bit and doing the travels.
We still have our home but would like to downsize a bit so we dont have as much gardening to do. It leaves more time to go off into the wide blue yonder.
Have a wonderful time, hope to hear of your adventures and keep safe.
