Hello Sheba.I hope that your day will be full of humour and goodwill.Tell us something about yourself.Do you travel or just waiting in the wings so as to speak.Regards Paddy.
May I add my voice, for the first time on this forum: hello, Sheba and all.
John and I are full-time 'Free-ranging' travellers: sold everything (in SA) in 2008 and had our new home -- a 5th-wheeler -- built in Brisbane, and are currently in Cranbrook, WA, waiting for the Ulysses Club to vacate Albany in the next few days.
Would love to talk to any members we meet with on the way; is anyone in this area at present?
Andrea & John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blessed be

I have not been in here long but I enjoy it. I do a bit of travelling mostly in my car as I have not got a van yet. I havent found anything I like. I just pack the car and go from place to place staying in CPs.
Yes it is probably an expensive way to travel but keeps the travel bug at bay. I allot myself x amount of money and when half way through it, I turn around and come home.
Yes a sense of humour is a must, laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone. How true that is.

Hi Andrea, one of our members JRH was just there....
Yep a great place for a couple of weeks or longer. Got out before the Bike club arrived.
I don't know if it was a club member who had the accident but that m/cycle accident started the big bushfire recently.
Andrea a must visit is the Sandalwood factory (Mount Romance) North of Albany on the Albany Highway, take your credit card with you as I am sure you will find many opportunities to use it there.
Oh by the way welcome to the forum.

Hi, Ginger - As you're probably aware, there are a lot of solos out (t)here. It was one of those who sowed the seed for our new lifestyle change - and grateful we are to her for that! She then had a very basic set-up in a small van and was trying out the lifestyle; by the time we met she'd decided to sell her house in NSW and buy a motorhome. A couple of years later she's still on the road, but now with a partner.
Hope to see you on the road sometime.
Andrea

Thanks, all, for the welcome! And we are really looking forward to visiting Albany, although I'm not sure we should go to the Sandalwood factory, JRH - it sounds like it might be expensive!
We don't know about the cyclist, either, except that he was not badly injured. Fortunately the fire is now under control and has not damaged any houses, although it was quite close to an Albany suburb.
Cheers - Andrea

Andrea, whatever you do don't miss the Sandalwood factory, there is a free tour of the facillty and you really don't have to spend lots of money there.
The Gong Room for meditation is great and at $17 on concession was well worth the it for the hour of total relaxation, and you get a silk scarf impregnated with calming Sandalwood oil to keep.
Whale World out on Frenchmans Bay road is another must see, though the tour costs $25. The tour includes a 3D movie in a cinema set up in one of the large Whale oil tanks.

The Whale Factory is definitely worth a look. I was impressed and amazed at how the atmosphere has been recreated, and the tour guide I heard really told the story well. The industry must have been amazing in that part of the world. Just don't get too confused by the street signage in town. My Tom Tom was even confused.
