Pause for a moment at 51:46 and notice the copy of Joseph Conrad's short novel "The Shadow-Line" in this grey nomad's pack. How few Conrad-readers there are today and how I wished I could've met this interesting man with a philosophical bend. For the audio book, click here.
Grey Nomads tells the stories of older Australians who are chasing their dreams and discovering a whole new world.
There are thousands of Grey Nomads travelling around Australia, and 62-year-old Mary Mason meets many who shape her thoughts and ignite her imagination. Some have fallen in love all over again and rediscovered romance, some take chances by opting for the adventure of journeying to remote places, others struggle to let go of the past and embrace the unknown road ahead.
This documentary tells the stories of a few of these people – Grey Nomads – and their travels through new landscapes in search of a new life. Their stories are full of humour, wisdom and optimism and are an inspiration to us all.
