THIS ITINERARY REPLACES THE ROUTE PLAN TO DARWIN, WHICH HAS BEEN RETIRED. The Escape from Oz will follow on from the Outstay Program. It will commence once I have reached Stage 3 of the Stages of Wealth, or possess at least AUS$225,000 in Bithodlings.

The glacial but triumphant pace with which I rediscovered Tuggerah and The Entrance will probably serve as the template for the Escape from Oz. Street by street, suburb by suburb I will reclaim my former world.

How long before the Escape (in years!)?

Haven't had I persistent dreams of travelling through the north coast of NSW, and Queensland? Don't I dream of returning to Kiama like every second night? These are premonitions of the path ahead!

Unless otherwise indicated, love is one factor which could slow my journey! Covid could be another.
