Having run away as a young teenager to join the famous Ashton's Circus, Gai Weaber-Buchal has had a pretty interesting life with an even more interesting life in her 'semi-retirement' travelling around Australia solo with just her two dogs, Peppa and Suki.
But we reckon you might be surprised at some of Gai's family background which she reveals in this second chat we had with her as she re-visited us in Hervey Bay QLD on her way back south.

We’re constantly amazed at the number of solo females travelling around Australia – most of them full-time.
Like ‘Wendy’ – who we met during our unexpected but most enjoyable stay hiding out from COVID in Toowoomba last year.
Brian was particularly impressed with Wendy’s purpose-built brand new mini-bus but the conversation soon turned to food – which he’s pretty interested in too!
But as it turns out this ‘foodie’s’ interest goes beyond what most people think about when it comes to food…

At 15yrs of age most 'young male adults' are either itching to leave home, start work or buy a new X-box or equivalent. Not young Josh! He's passionate about & studying all kinds of things like spiders, tarantulas, scorpions & carnivorous plants! - It's this last one that had us fascinated.
And we bet you too will probably find it hard to pronounce many of the plants he mentions in this short chat we had with him at the Cool Waters Holiday Park in Cairns FNQ

Some people diagnosed with a health issue likely to shorten their life choose to just ‘give-in’ and wait for the inevitable.
Not Anthony Moffatt aka ‘Moff’ – he wanted to do his part to raise funds for brain cancer research by cycling from the southernmost point on the mainland all the way up the East Coast to the northernmost point at Cape Tribulation.
And…73 days later… after peddling over a hundred kilometres a day – he made it, along with his chief supporter – his wife Arlene who drove their caravan with his extra bikes and monitored his progress every scary step of the way!

In case you missed it, we recently introduced you to Anthony Moffatt aka ‘Moff’ who was on a fund raising bike ride for brain cancer research, cycling all the way from Tidal River at the very bottom of the Australian mainland all the way up to Cape Tribulation in far north QLD…
And… he succeeded! Of course Moff couldn’t have completed this epic 4,800 kilometre adventure without his most passionate supporter – his wife Arlene – Kaye caught up with her to hear her part in this incredible story…

A lot of people have that idea that vets & nurses just work with 'cute & fluffy animals all day' and interestingly enough, when people apply for vet nursing and vet jobs, they're quite often looking for a career change, and they say they want to get out of the rat race and so on.
A veterinary practice is not quite the place to be if you need a bit of an escape. It's actually a very stressful job in many ways, and you just don't have any time for yourself. Well know blogger & much loved Vet Dr Anne Quain reveals all in this short but fascinating podcast as she reveals 'what goes on in a vet practice' & why they need to make more time for themselves!

Most people enjoy the company of others. I do too as it happens but there is a 'limit' - Personally I prefer smaller gatherings whether that's family or friends or even meeting new people.
And no... I'm not a 'hermit' or a 'hermette' - a newish 'secret society' of women who prefer their own company!
This narrated version can also be read here if you prefer... :-)

Here at MyLife MyStory we've been lucky to have met and chatted with some pretty amazing people over the past 12 months or so.
One of those just happens to be Lorraine McMurtrie - the mother of Mark McMurtrie who recently launched Community Flights in the Wide Bay QLD area helping transport patients requiring specialist medical care to Brisbane - normally a 7hr return journey by car.

After finally selling their house in Bendigo VIC, Robyn & Pete Robinson hit the road running with their much loved pooch Paddy. Both do occasional work on the road to help the budget but recently Robyn was offered an opportunity in a very remote part of Australia - Aurukun - a mostly indigenous town just a short 13.5hr drive from Cairns FNQ or 44hrs from Melbourne!

I started working in radio on my 15th birthday, and over the years I’ve also worked in TV and music recording studios here, in the UK, Spain & USA.
I’ve been pretty fortunate to have met and worked with some of the biggest ‘stars’ around, but the strongest memory I have of just about anyone I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting & working with was a man called Ron Stuart… who also went by the handle of VK2ASJ.
