Well here we are, sitting up in sunny Queensland wondering if we should go further south for the summer or just hang in here.

Our original plan was to go south but what the heck, it's nice up here so why leave? That's the great thing about this lifestyle.

We've spent the past three months staying with friends near Caboolture. In that time I've done over seventy jobs on the truck and am now declaring it finished. Not that it will ever really be finished but it's near enough.

Gee you're lucky
If I had a buck for every time someone said that to me I really would be lucky.

Yes we are lucky. Lucky to live in a country where this lifestyle is safe and achievable, lucky to have been born with a certain aptitude that allowed us to do this,

BUT

It wasn't luck that worked everyday for years building the motor home, it wasn't luck that went out and got the skills required to do the job, it wasn't luck that worked long hours for years earning good money and promotions, it wasn't luck that didn't blow that money on fast cars and five-star trips to Bali and it wasn't luck that decided not to have children knowing that they reduce your financial options,

SO

Yes we've been lucky but we also worked like stink for years and built on that luck. We did it and so can you.

Till next time then, and remember,

don't dream it, be it!
