After 18 months of renting and about 6 months of seriously looking around for a house to buy, I finally bought a house today!

This will allow me to put down some roots for the next 5 years or so until my daughter heads off to uni or gets herself a job, then I can reevaluate what I want to do with my life.

I'm thinking a Ford Ranger Raptor and caravan like the Kelly's did for their trip up to Darwin a couple of months back would be ideal. Travel around oz at my own pace, stay wherever I want for however long I want and find a place that I can retire to to see out my days. I don't need anything fancy and I don't need a lot of money. I'm sure someone with my skills could pick up work pretty easily to keep the stash topped up.
