Just come across a great site that hires Caravans to Baby Boomers. Perhaps before you purchase your Caravan or Camper Trailer for your big trek around Australia you could test out the lifestyle by hiring a van for a short period. http://www.babyboomerscutloose.com.au/Exploring Australia by caravan or camper trailer is a dream for so many Baby Boomers and retirees and it offers a great lifestyle while seeing remote and beautiful locations in Australia.
