About Us.
Wayne is 57 and until 31st May 2007, worked for the NAB for approx 35 years. The NAB, in their infinite wisdom,
thought that it was more benefical to outsource my area to India. Consequently, I was jobless and had the opportunity
to retire, which I grabbed with both hands.
Marg was a 'child bride' and is a primary school teacher with approx 35 years experience.
In May 2007, we ordered our 5th Wheeler from Phil at Trailblazers RV and in July we purchased a Nissan Navara STX as the tug.
In 2008, Marg took a year off work and we went 'gray nomading' up the east coast of Australia.
Update Sep 2008:
I have now been retired since May 07 and we have just finished our 4 month trip to Outback Queensland. This stage of
our life is absolutely marvellous. Thank God, we have our health and while we do, we are enjoying life to the max.
We can't wait for 2009 to commence our next major trip. (see map below).
Update as at 16th Feb 2009:
Marg has now officially retired, but she is planning to do emergency teaching during Terms 1 and 4, while during Terms 2 and 3,
we will be touring the big, brown land.
We plan to leave on Tuesday 7th April and do an overnighter at Narrandera CP, then spend Easter at Leighton's Peak Hill CP
with Pat and Cheryl who also own a small 5th wheeler like ours.
Tuesday 14th April, our trip then starts in earnest as we head off to Port Augusta via Broken Hill. Yippee....
Update as at 30th Aug 2009:
We have just finished our 4.5 month trip from Melbourne to Port Augusta, Darwin, Cairns, Gold Coast (to visit our boys) then back home to Melbourne.
Our life is still absolutely marvellous. Thank God, we still have our health and while we do, we are enjoying life to the max.
Looking forward to April 2010, when we leave for the Gold Coast via Perth, to visit our boys.
In the meantime, Marg has a teaching gig from Mon 31st Aug until Xmas, while I have to ride my bike to Docklands to have coffee with my
former work mates and just generally, have a ball.
Shit, Life is tough. :)
Update as at 20th Jan 2010:
After Marg's teaching gig, we have learnt that she will not work full time again. She is over it.
Update as at 15th Mar 2010:
During February, we had the fiver back at Phil's for a service and while there I had a shelf built to house all my computer and telecommunications stuff.
It worked beautifully.
Between 11th and 16th March, we are staying at Beechworth, doing a shakedown run and so far, everything is working as it should.
