I am soon to be laid off March 2009 at age 59, (like more and more of us) so instead of vegging at home feeling sorry for myself we are thinking of fulfilling a dream from years ago, travel the country, what are the draw backs, problems, benefits, is there work out there for the short or long stays, we would be looking at being away six months to whatever. We will be living in our caravan, I do not foresee any problems there, the tow vehicle is sound also.

If you have done it or are doing it please pass on your thoughts, are there clubs etc, how do you pay Tax do you need a ABN #.
