aravanners Kym Leech and Lyn Hutton,

who have been full-time working

travellers for six years, have published

a book to help others wanting to follow in

their tracks. Titled “Be an Australian Nomad

Adventurer – Confidently rove and fund your

lifestyle while on the road” is written with

humour and in an easy-to-read style, with over

130 illustrated pages. Cost is $12.50, with a

dollar from every sale being donated to the

Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Topics range from having a multi-employability

mindset and ideas on how and where to

look for work, to accommodation and

communications.

Kym and Lyn, whose No Boundaries website

has a popular following, describe themselves

as a working class couple who started their

nomadic lifestyle in their mid 50s after their

children had fled the nest.

“We have been part of this ongoing migration

of working nomads for over six years and have

experienced Australia and so much more with

the advantage of younger energy than we ever

could had we delayed our caravan travels to

post-retirement.”

With what they say was, “A money pot with a

shallow bottom”, working and travelling their

way around was the answer. “Our adventures

on the road have largely been financed by

finding work in an ever-extending trail of places

and work situations,” they said. And they

stress that their time on the road has been far

from all about hard work - it can be paradise,

as one of their photos show. For further

it come to fruition is a really great outcome for
an applied research centre like ours.”

Matt Canavan, Australia’s minister for
resources, explained in an online statement
the practical benefits of the investment
include better navigation for both regional
aviation and farmers who have livestock over
long distances. Yanming Feng, a professor
at the Queensland University of Technology
who specialises in global navigation satellite
systems, also said the announcement was
good news.

“It will improve the accuracy from several

metres to 1-2 metres for mass-market users,

such as mobile phone and road navigation,” he

explained.

As for the rest of the allocation, $36.9 million

will be used to fund Digital Earth Australia

(DEA), which uses satellite data to track

changes across Australia like soil and coastal

erosion, crop growth, water quality, and

changes to cities and regions.
