Stopped for a While | Greg's Wild Ride — Graders, Gold, and a Grey Nomad Life

What do a 12-year-old grade driver, a head-on collision at 110km/h, a manufacturing jeweller, and a restored 1985 Viscount caravan all have in common? They're all chapters in Greg's extraordinary life.

In this episode, Greg and his wife Christine pull up at the Peaceful Place on the Fraser Coast and share a story that covers just about everything — a childhood in North Turramurra with dairy cows and draft horses, a near-fatal car accident, five unforgettable months in hospital (including ward parties, a matron standoff, and a cheeky pick-up line that landed him a wife), and a career that swung from jeweller to air conditioning to top house sales rep in Western Australia.

Now retired and on the road full-time, Greg and Christine have clocked over 50,000km, completed 22 house-sits across Australia, and are finally settling — for a while — on the Fraser Coast.

If you love stories about resilience, reinvention, and the freedom of life on the road, this one's for you.
