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...

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. It would be interesting to see per capita, the numb...
