Why am I here ?
Quick synopsis of the journey so far.
Bought 4wd 2 years ago after we both quit full time employment. Had six months working in Alice Springs with a little bit of touring around looking at the local tourist sites.
Came back to NSW and the wife found a tagalong tour. 10 weeks, 13,500kms. Included Anne Beadell/CSR/Simpson. Twelve months saving/planning/accessorising. Just completed same.
In the 12 month lead-up I spent about 4 months working remotely around Alice and Katherine.
We are now in the planning phase of (hopefully) transitioning to my doing remote work on a contract basis as a primary means of employment. The idea is to work a bit then tour a bit then work a bit then tour a bit – you get the idea.
The decision to go down this path was made a few months back, although I have had the idea for a couple of years and have done a lot of researching. As a result camper trailer as accommodation won over rooftop tent and so a camper trailer has been purchased.
So now the adventure begins, sort of. Just need to –
Learn to tow, forward and backwards.
Reconfigure the truck from a tourer to a tug.
Learn how to use the CT.
Sell some equipment we no longer require and purchase the odd thing we don’t yet have.
Learn about things I think I now need to know about – brake controllers, solar panels etc
Pick up any tips and tricks I can from the forum.
Give back where I can
Have a good time
Cheers
