Another newbie


G'day Everyone,

Another new member reporting in.

I have been lurking for a quite a while, so I thought I had better bite the bullet and join up.

Still a couple of years away from hitting the road, still have to do that dirty word "w**k" for a little bit longer. no

I have spent the best part of the last 20 years "on the road" with w**k, mostly in Western Vic, SA & Southern WA.

In my younger years (30+ years ago smile) I travelled extensively all over Australia but I missed the Nullabor and from Perth to Darwin.

Now our kids have grown up, my lovely wife Kerry and I are planning to sell up and travel around Australia at our leisure.

Still in the infancy of planning but we have agreed that a 5th Wheeler suits our needs best, so we are going to spend some time exploring that option. We intend to mix free camping with caravan parks, probably 80% free camp / 20% caravan parks.

I have found that this site has a wealth of information and the members seem a good bunch.

Hopefully I will be able to contribute in some small way.

Cheers

Bill

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. smile

Woody, at last count I still have all my toes!

The name Lakatoi comes from my lifetime hobby of stamp collecting. 

The "lakatoi" is a Papuan double hulled sailing boat, like the one pictured in the Papua stamp I have used for my avatar.

I collected stamps from Papua for over 40 years and only recently sold most of my collection.

Now back to reading all the new posts.

Cheers

Bill
