I am Allen, My wife Niny from Indonesia and 2.5 year old Daughter Almira, We are from Adelaide
We have made the big leap to do the big lap ( 6 weeks ago )
Nissan D40 purchased 4 weeks ago, UHF, electric brakes installed, in-dependent inspections and full services,
23 ft Compass van purchased 4 weeks ago BUT still to pick up from wangaratta vic, independent inspection done, complete new axles, brakes, rims, tyres, ( peace of mined )
But yet to see the van.
With only 2 weeks to go we have sold most Furniture from house ( sleeping on mattress ) its a bit like camping in own house,
We will travel to Wangeratta Vic on weekend of 8th oct to pickup van ( then future begins) will have to return to Adelaide within 2 weeks to have van inspected for SA rego, so will class that trip as our shake down trip,
Hopefully if all is well on returning to Adelaide we should be on the road within a week, then on our 2.5 year adventure around, through,across,up, down, in out, of our great land.
At this stage our plans our west coast SA until after new years then head to bottom of WA, ohhh Nullabor in January Hot Hot, will sit around Streaky bay, Ceduna and wait for a cool change to do big move to Fowlers Bay, Properly still be there Easter time,
We are going to try to free camp as much as possible, van has solar, 2 water tanks
You have asked for any advice As you get further into your trip, you will find that if you ask a specific question on this forum, someone may have the answer Also if you use the Search button, (on the topish, middleish, of the page, there is plenty of information, about many topics
I can only say, as Dougwe has already mentioned
Keep safe on the road Talk to the people in the camps, they have a lot of knowledge for any first time long distance travellers
I wish you all the best, and hope that you have a very good trip, with many more to come
And it's welcome from us two 2 Allen ninny and Almira
