Buy a cheap Telstra phone. It doesnt degrade, it already is. Wont even hold charge overnite, full charge to %25 without any use. Bought to be used as an emergency phone, so dosgustingly pathetic, have gone back to an old nokia. Serious health issues, both on disability pensions, wife battling...

Ndis, what a sick joke! Wife has serious injury to her spine, bump in the car could take her life. Tumour in her brain, causing loss of use of left side of face, neck as well. Also a mass in her chest which rubs against her spine. Other issues too. She can't get NDIS because she doesn't have...

Have got through paying $1100 in one fortnight for medical bills. Both on disability pensions, no super. Moved again, found somewhere that weekly rent is lower, not sure for how long. Power etc going up will push rent up here too. Trying hard to put as much as we can away to cover wife's funeral...

Carers Queensland. A giveaway arranged on facebook, by Carers Queensland. Has had unwanted action, advising you have won a daily prize. Asking you to click the link, off site. The name the scammer uses is a likeness to the genuine name. When viewing the link you are asked to enter credit card...

Solar scam. Recieved a cold call about having solar panels fitted to the roof, financed by the solar rebate. Had my name and mobile number, I worked out how. When I refused to comply, he went overtime trying to convince me to continue. I asked how the panels would fit on my caravan roof. Indian...

Watched a lady get a tattoo on her shoulder. Had children, along with family and friends who all supported her. She told me it was the first time she was proud of her body. She goes in regularly for surgery, to have every joint opened up, to have calcium scrapped from her joints. The tattoo is a...

Left the hospital after visiting pre- op, then Specialist and Surgeon. The rage running so strong we were both numb. Another op cancelled. We are sending you on to another hospital, they have better trained staff than us. Does that mean when they speak sunshine, starbursts an butterflies come...

That is good news. Another visit to the hospital next week for my wife. No hope of a good outcome. Staff need serious retraining.

With regard to the "PET" scan, the only way you can get a scan, is if you already have a cancer diagnosis. Then the scan may confirm how far it has spread. Am trying hard not to comment further the disgust I feel about how poorly the medical system does not support those without private health care.

Wife and I have serious health issues. Yes, worked all our lives, till we were put on the disability pension. Over 50 you pay for MRIs, unless a specialist requests them. Point being the medical expenses have left us with enough to cover a single bare basic cremation. Which unfortunately is in...

Wife and I live in our own caravan, in someones back yard. Due to serious health conditions we have been told we need to consider moving into a unit. Where? Cost of doing so will take what very little is left the medical system hasn't grabbed. Well aware, we are not on our own, homeless...

Due to medical reasons wife and I are on highway regularly, hospital/Dr visits. Rather noticable that semis are travelling at approximately 90 ks, as we do. Due to fuel saving costs, if you think I am wrong take notice of how many vehicles are doing the same. Travel well, travel safe.

Came from NZ in '85. Havnt looked back, never regretted the move. As life moved on I worked as a welder. Married, moved around in Queensland. Decided to close the business and go travelling, working as we went. Always had a few health issues. Both of us put on the Dis. Pension, that slowed us...

Too many to list individually. West coast of WA, has many spots. Getting there across the Nullarbor, a lot of side roads to explore. Where it might take some a few days to reach the next spot, we could take several months. Walcha in NSW is a lovely spot. With lot of areas around to visit as...

Away from the coast, also away from large towns. This will make sense. To an area where it is not overlly populated. Looking for wildlife, where we can observe without bothering them. So flowing water is a bonus, as much as trees and assorted growth. Not overly interested in tourist areas, due...
