The Social Set
Life on the road is as social as you want it to be. We find that during our winter trips we often catch up with friends who’ve moved north for good. We also run into mates who are on a different timetable and maybe heading south as we’re going north or vice versa. That planned catch up over a bowl of noodles in Glen Waverley becomes Korean in Canberra instead. Then there are the folks that we’ve met during our travels and who are as peripatetic as we are, if we’re lucky we can meet up in a little town … Continue reading The Social Set

Travel – It should be classed as an addiction
Some of us are nesters and others are born to roam. We like to look over that next hill, just to see what is there. Sometimes it’s more of the same. Sometimes it’s red dirt and mulga to the horizon but other times …well there’s a vista to make your heart swell. Continue reading Travel – It should be classed as an addiction
