For the researchers out there - relax: Journal of Universal Rejection

I have seen availability of F QF Award seats on EK SYD-CHC, but rarely. It's pot luck whether you can get one.

I'm still needing to work around school holidays in 2025. PJM is dropping to 3 days/week prior to her planned retirement at the end of 2025, so it should be the last year of that. With judicious planning and a degree of luck in the timing of scheduled organised trips that I was keen to do, I...

I omitted to mention in my retirement 'journey' that after leaving my career job I also got an ABN and did bits and pieces of consulting over the years of phasing into retirement. Nothing to onerous or lengthy that would tie me down and reduce flexibility, but it opened further options in the...

I retired from my 35y+ career job in 2006, just before turning 57. It was a couple of years earlier than my initial plan, but I decided to decline a request to transfer to Canberra and the finance manager had used my success in obtaining grants to try to screw just that bit too much in the next...

It's a very interesting set. I bought mine from Booktopia at a very good price before they went bust.

I don't know that you can if you are still registered as a WP. LTG presumably lies in the background until invoked. I was WP for >20 years until 1 September 2023 when I reverted to LTG. As mentioned, I had achieved LTG way back in 2008, but was registered as WP with QF from then until the...

Your post immediately followed mine, but I'm unsure whether you were referencing mine or previous posts. I'm perfectly happy to pay $50 out my own pocket to see my GP of choice, which I only need to do occasionally - maybe twice a year, but at least 1x/year. I make the effort to stay healthy...

Mine charges $93 and Medicare benefit is $42.85.

When I spotted that a physical could be requested, I thought that I may as well snare the LTG version - even if I did go LTG in 2008... 😜

Yes, the walk up from the car park is fairly long and uphill, but not difficult; quite pleasant in fact. When I refer to the boulder at the bottom, it's at the bottom of Castle Rock itself where you need to scramble over the boulder and through a gap to access the ladder. Stretching to the few...

If you can get past the big boulder with the inadequate hand-holds (unless it's been improved since 2021) at the bottom, then it's easy going - and well worth it up top.

I'm not sure whether @Disco is asking about the Skywalk at Castle Rock because they have done it and are curious as to whether you have also done it, or whether they are asking seeking information about it. If I may briefly hijack, see posts #34 & #35...

Hmmm... - are you absolutely sure on that? I'm not. 😜

No - far less primitive than that... 😜

What, after you were conceived? That's novel... 😜

Get back to work, ya bludger. 🤬

That's OK - we didn't need to read any further... 😜

Sorry, something unexpected has just cropped up for tomorrow that rules me out.
