So why not stay in Australia? Because TGF has had four amazing holidays here with me staying free-of-charge in $10M+ harbour side mansions during those 2 years. Four is enough, she’s now seen everything what she wanted to see in Aus - in grand luxury! We both now want to travel extensively to other overseas destinations therefore no point me staying in Aus anymore. why are you counting down the 2 years to come back to Thailand? Because I miss the temples.

It’s actually great knowing that this should be (barring any quick return visit for a birth/marriage/funeral etc) my final ever Sydney winter!

Yes, cold outside today in Sydney but lovely and warm inside with free reverse-cycle central heating on in all living/bed rooms… on all levels!

Earlier in this thread I posted photos of some of the free luxury accommodation and magnificent views I am enjoying during my 2 years back here. I even posted date stamped screenshots showing me turning down an offer to live free at Vaucluse! - arguably Sydney’s most exclusive and expensive suburb. Here’s another of my free residences taken last week. Yes you’re correct, we really are …living the dream. Enjoy.

She got a 3 year tourist visa with me as the sponsor. She had never been to Australia before. No, you are wrong again as the government departments have no idea "what I'm up to". As already mentioned in this thread they (C'Link) were told I'm living with a relative. So once again do try keep up.

How wrong you are, AGAIN! Sorry to disappoint you, but NO it’s not me living in hostels. As already mentioned on numerous occasions in this thread I am doing house sitting in exclusive Sydney beachside/harbourside suburbs for the entire 2 years with my TGF coming to visit me in said luxury accommodation every 6 months…so YES I am living the dream, literally. Do try and keep up.

I came back from living in LoS for 6 years (aged 65) to do my 2 years and will be soon getting the hell out of Dodge and back to Adult Disneyland immediately after turning 67. Have been on benefits the whole time whilst back here and never has anyone from C’link ever questioned me on whether I’m intending to stay here before my benefit automatically switches to the OAP in a few months. I own no property here nor have ever had a lease. Told C’Link I’m living with a relative and I will never tell C’Link (or anyone else) differently. After my birthday I’ll be saying to everyone that I’m going for a “lengthy overseas holiday” - again. Surely C’Link will not question or demand to see anything to prove that I intend staying in this (ridiculously expensive S-hole of a) country before giving me the pension. I will soon know, stay tuned!

I know a guy who is spending his 2 years living in hostels! Costs about $30 - $35 per night leaving enough dole money to easily cover food and the occasional beer. He loves it, all hostels provide free A/C, WiFi, hot showers, communal kitchens, laundry, TV rooms etc. Some even have free swimming pools and free movie theatres. Some are located dead centre in big cities thus providing him with hundreds of things to do, including having public transport across the city and surrounding country areas capped at $2.50 per day. For added security and peacefulness, he only ever shares up to a 4 bedroom dorm room and always gets a large, free locker for his suitcases and valuables. Apparently he has made hundreds of new friends at the hostels, hence he is rarely bored or lonely. His only gripe is the occasional loud snorer, but he gets a new room when that happens. He gives Centrelink & MyGov an address of a relative but he never stays with them and they (C/L & M/G) have no idea of that. I’ve seen photos of his backpacking “friends”. Some are gorgeous, especially the ones from Sweden … https://www.yha.com.au/hostels/nsw/sydney-surrounds/sydney-central-backpackers-hostel/

… or…. go back the day before your 65th birthday, do the 2 years and get OAP portability without proving anything. Simply hop on the plane back to LoS the day after turning 67.

No

The temples and beaches.

Been asked before and no one on here has ever married a bar girl. They were all “cashiers”.

Theft of smartphones have fallen year on year. A key factor for this continual decline could be that smartphone security has improved to a point that it’s no longer worth stealing them; with Face ID, trackers, and fingerprint scanners, it’s now harder for criminals to wipe and fence stolen property. https://www.loveitcoverit.com/news/changing-world/mobile-phone-theft-a-new-crimewave/#:~:text=A key factor for this,wipe and fence stolen property.

You don’t need an Apple phone to have password protection. Most phones are password protected.

Is it really worth stealing phones these days? My phone needs a 6 digit passcode to unlock it (3 attempts allowed); has it’s location shown on another device; I can immediately disable it on another device; needs my Apple ID to work again if they factory reset it (3 attempts allowed). In other words it’s useless to them and they risk getting caught if they turn it on making its location visible. If ever stolen, all data is reinstalled onto my new phone via the daily automated Cloud backup.

Get a visa that doesn't require health insurance ...or marry a Thai government employee.

You’re retired. You live in a country with oppressive heat. You have nothing to do all day and you have all day to do it in. Yet you whinge if needing to spend an extra 20 seconds in an air conditioned shop. Amazing.

Consider it punishment for eating such unhealthy food.

I turned the video off when he admitted that he’s going back home to continue working to help pay off his new farangland home. Yawn.

Absolutely 100% true…. and here’s video proof! Right at the start of video look for the 23 seconds left on the clock that the pedestrian has to safely cross the road with the traffic on a red light. E5426DFB-36FA-4DF1-A1AC-C430B769C4FC.mov

What I want is to see videos of you at your high-jumping classes! 😂😂😂
