A brief history.....

Our Story...........

December 26th 2010


We are Elizabeth and Gary, and live in a delightful village called Richmond about 26 km NNE of Hobart in Tasmania, South of mainland Australia.

We settled in Brisbane, Queensland for 30 years. But eventually the the summer heat, humidity and constant traffic jams caught up with us, and we decided to move to a more temperate and relaxing lifestyle. We had been to Tasmania several times before, liked what we saw, and decided that was the place for us.


After six really good years in Tassie, we now have the urge to get out and explore more of the world. Not just a tour here and there, but a full on lifestyle change to full time travel. Now that our family commitments are behind us we feel the time is right.












We have been fortunate to have already sailed around the world in all sorts of boats, ferries, and mail ships over a six month period - this was OUR FIRST TRIP!, and many years later travelled around the world in many aircraft with various airlines - we called this the OUR SECOND TRIP!, and thought well why not do it again?  So THE THIRD TRIP! by road! Great idea at the time, but how do we do it?


Whilst we were contemplating our travel options we stumbled across a USA registered motorhome (RV) in the village, and thought if they could be here, then why couldn't we be there or some where else?

                  

So we started thinking about our options, and one bright morning we heard an interview on the Sunday morning radio. ABC radio host "Macca" was interviewing Dick Smith (The Australian philanthropist!) about his, and his wife Pip's travels around the world in a RV. That just about sealed the deal for us. We had to do it! Land Cruising!


So we will buy a motorhome and we will drive wherever we are able to!......................
