For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach? Feel free to use this section to let other nomads know how the weather is where you are in this wonderful country, and how you are planning to make the most...

New driving tests for Greys

Just perusing the can of worms that is the newly introduced driving tests for Greys. Along with reduced benefits for Greys based on age by MBF and HCF, I see what I have read as "over the top" to say the least and aged discrimination at its most blatant.
