My old man has driven around this country in trucks for over 50years. Six months ago he retired, so he and mum are doing short trips in the bago.
He has always been the typical country bred toughie. Not doing this, or not doing that. That is for sissies etc. Laughs at things like min min lights, stories of ufo's etc.
I was talking to him on the phone the other night and he was talking about how much he enjoyed the dinosaur museum near Winton. Commented on the attractions at Longreach, even mentioned that they were going for a dig for their own dinosaur bones, or opals. Things he would never had looked at in the past.
Made me laugh after I got off the phone.
Seems that travelling this country, has soothed the savage beast.

Some things still will not change though. He looks for somewhere to wash the vehicle every oppurtunity he gets. lol

There are a lot of people who complain about those who travell. I say go for it. Don't wait till you retire. If you can, do it while your young. Explore. relax. Enjoy yourself.
If more people relax, there would be less aggression in this world. He is kicking himself that he did not start this years ago.
