Brisbane started
Introduction. In late June 2017 Maria and I flew to Brisbane to take delivery of a 4WD Hilux and Aussie sway trailer marking the start of our Australian adventures. Having just completed two and a half years travelling around New Zealand we thought it was about time we expanded our horizons to the very large super continent off our west coast. The winter months in NZ can be cool and frosty so the prospect of spending a few months in the warmer parts of Autralia was too much to resist. We found an advert in the NZMCA magazine from a NZ couple who had been travelling Aussie over the last three winters. It did not take long to convince us that this was a good opportunity to start the next phase of our master retirement plan. We plan to purchase a 2004 Toyota Hilux 3.0 diesel turbo with 215,000 kms on the clock. The 1999 Aussie trailer is fully set up for wilderness camping and comes complete with solar panel, fridge, awnings and other odds and ends needed to get started. Yeah Austra
