    Now, how about we we go for a little drive? Lawn Hill National Park looks nice - let's go there! It's only 2100 kms - just up the road. Threads that go off topic - here and other forums.

    Congratulations, Mike! Enjoy this time.
    I honestly hope you have a better outcome with Centrelink than I!

    Forward planning would have had you submit your pension applications six months prior to retirement.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Very soon you'll be wondering how you ever found the time to go to work.
    Soon after, you'll realise how much money you're saving by not going to work.

    Good luck , enjoy.

    We've been on this for weeks, but you have to state your current income.

    SocSec allow applications up to six months prior to retirement, in order that payment can be made on the first eligible date. Ive recently assisted a friend through the process.

    With me, it was on attaining the official retirement age, as deemed by some shiny arse i.e. 65 years and 6 months and I was officially advised that the pre-retirement lodgement period was 13 weeks.

    Not that it did me any good!

    Yes, I know about the regulations. Our account exists and is documented, but we are on a retirement plan and have had to change our assets to maximise the pension before we finalise submission of the application. Should be finalised later today.

    Meanwhile I am sitting on the front verandah in Maleny eating pork ribs and drinking a cold beer. I am rapidly getting used to being a retired senior citizen!

    Lawn Hill? Sounds like a Cemetery. Be careful what you wish for Mick.

    Ha Ha, hopefully I won't need a cemetery for a long time.
    No, this is the Lawn Hill we're heading for, via Gregory. We have an appointment to celebrate the BIL's 60th birthday. I may need to buy a box of a nice red wine.

    Congratulations Mick. I hope your retirement accountant told you to get a bunk bed so that you can hide all your assets under your mattress.
