While many of you might consider downsizing, could you self-manage 20,000 hectares in the Kimberly? Our cover photo star, Barbara Walker, 70, does it with aplomb and shares her story in new series Ageless.
Are you unable to see your grandchildren or have had your cards and gifts for them returned to you? Grandparent alienation is a growing phenomenon in Australia, as thousands of older people are barred from having regular contact with their grandchildren. Eileen Wood looks into the emotive and distressing issue.
As the mercury drops in Australia, we take you to summer with a bumper Explore travel section taking you to Europe. We help you explore (see what we did?) France beyond the Olympics, while a former flight attendant shows you how to pack efficiently.
May also marks our first Photo of the Month winner; congratulations to Lorraine Horton of Brisbane for this shot of a daring act over a waterfall (below). You can see a full picture gallery of eye-catching entries here.
None of us are getting any younger; in fact, we're getting older as our average lifespan extends. But what would your quality of life look like if you are well past the average lifespan and have run out of money? Editor Desiree Savage examines the issue and shares a very personal insight into this dilemma in her editorial.
We also know you love the comments sections (perhaps more than the news itself?), so check out this month's letters to the editor to read what people really think.
Plus there is so much more tailored to your state or territory.
