Hi Ken & Marg;

If you like travelling you will love life on the road.
I started in January this year (permanent on road), and its been great so, apart from a few little teething problems mostly caused by my lack of funds to get everything I needed upfront there has been no major dramas... oh wait, yep flat battery!

I was talking with my mate of many years last night and he said 'You were born to be a bloody nomad you know that" and he is right, I've been in Geelong for about three months now and already its getting up my nose and the wheels must turn :))

The only question I have is- Why wait two years :)

Mudjimba ... Love it ... nice quiet spot a bit out of the way with a view of Old Woman Is. if I remember correctly.   I spent a couple of very enjoyable years in the early 80's working the Sunshine Coast.  Lived at Buderim then Harbour Parade at Buddina Beach /Mooloolaba. .. couldn't afford either these days!  Some say that that strip has some of our best scenery & climate .. hard to argue.  (though the sandflies can be a problem at times)
Must be a trifle damp up there this week.



ken & marg ...  enjoy the trip ....  The two years will pass quickly ... but go sooo slowly on your journey.

keep safe
