G'day

Post by 2wander-yonder »

Hello everyone,

A quick post to say hello and to introduce ourselves. We're Andrew and Joanne and having given up the Corporate world for the real one we now live full time on the road in "AJ" our motorhome.

Too young to totally retire we have decided to try the "work a bit, play a lot" dream a bash.

Andrew has been part of a few other forums and looks forward to being part of this one as well.

Safe driving.

Regards

Andrew and Joanne

Hi Andrew & Joanne,
What sort of work do you do while you are travelling? Did you set up an office in the motorhome and work from there or just pick up work along the way?
If I haven't before, welcome to the forum :D

Hi Terry and Margaret

No office here thankfully :) We have worked the wheat harvest in Qld and NSW and start thinning apples tomorrow here in Victoria (no picking just chucking the bad ones off the tree) and then we are looking at the rice harvest in NSW before some more playtime and then back onto the wheat in October. Might also have a job in Tassie stocking shelves for new stores as well, so no shortage of good jobs (long or short term) if you are not fussy or don't need a corporate salary.

Regards

Andrew & Joanne

I believe the bad ones (black spotcetc) go on the ground and the others either for eating or juice.
