Hey mob, I'm gonna be travelling around Australia for a few years, I'm in coffs staying with family for a few weeks until my van gets fixed but after that throw me a line and I'll make you a curry and read your tarot.

I just started this year but my van got busted near my parents house (which was incredibly lucky) so until I can get the parts for repair I'm stuck here. I've been around working odd jobs for a little while though

Yeah man I've been around Western NSW and there's heaps of free, amazing camping spots. Gotta be careful not to hit the kangaroos though or they'll total your car! I thought at first that I'd be mostly going around the coast but right now I'm enjoying inland more, less cops and rangers.

My first night, no reception, nobody knew where I was heading, and I came within inches of flipping my van. I was driving it down to the campsite and there was a pretty steep downhill bit and I came at it on an angle and she tipped SO FAR over. I stopped the van and just sat there with one wheel hanging over the drop for like five minutes before I could get the courage to risk moving forward. I would have been fucked if I'd rolled it, I'd been driving for hours without reception and hadn't seen another soul.
