Oh I was responding to Colsa who are in Adelaide at the moment. Just another opportunity to meet another GN team.
Sorry if I confused you. I'm like that.

"when the lawn needs mowing we move on" or " if the neighbors are a pain we move on" One of the best thing about being on the road. I carry the shed (7x4 trailer) and I find that family are good to be leaving and I find that the best times are alone alongside a river with perhaps a couple of new friends, but not many.

The biggest decision is Will I move today or not then when that decision is made then when and where. LOVE IT been on the road 3 years

Anyone worried about leaving the nest, all I can suggest is try it as once you make the break it becomes easy and after a while if you stay too long you get the itches to move on.

There is always voluntary organisations to stop and spend some time if you need to stop for a while and still make life useful and also increases the range of new friends.

When on the road talk to all you meet, soak in their experiences and their knowledge and you will find many ways to fill your days.

Remember the fuel is incidental as if the finances are short for a while find a nice spot and stay and chill out. Make a camp fire alongside a river and put the line out and spend a few days watching the world and your worries pass by.

Regards
Brian

That's a great philosophy Brian. It pretty much sums up the lifestyle of full-time nomadding.
I don't fish, but as anyone who's met mewill can confirm, I do enjoy talking to fellow travellers. Comparing notes and advice on experiences is more informative than reading a book.
Groping for the Camps book to compare sites and referring to locations is a common outcome.
This is fun.

Thanks for clearing that up Chris - me and Jon were both confused - doesn't take much - especially after a drop of red!!!

Cruising granny Who said you have to have bait on the hooks etc. If the line is in then there is the opening question "getting any fish".

The first contact is what you need then the rest is easy, just like the first time you drive out the driveway or the first time you put up your awning etc.

Tackle any job and even if you st**F up you will have done it and it WILL get easier in future attempts till YOU become the expert that t=others come to for advise.

I will accept advise from anyone on the road and try it but shy aware from the armchair experts that have just goggled or read books and think they know it all.

Keep the forum going and we all learn as we travel forward.

Regards
Brian
