Nobody should expect a free university education .What is wrong with the kids working for a couple of years before they go to uni or college ?If they pay the bulk of their own expenses it will make them assess what they really want ,if indeed they need a university eduction at all .
Your dad needs you , pure and simple ,there's no way round that .
Get some help with him ,take some time off ,do small trips on the bike .
Do the big trip later ,don't mope .
You can retire , do it .
You are not trapped ,you are blessed in having a family , look after them ,but don't mollycoddle them .
Australia has been there for a few million years , it ain't going anywhere soon .
