Smith, now 70, moves from Queensland's Sunshine Coast to Longreach, revisiting a town he called home in the 1970s. He runs a busy caravan park and enjoys connecting with travelers at 'beer o'clock.'
In July, Smith traded his beach life on Queensland's Sunshine Coast for the bush luxuries of Longreach , a town he once called home five decades ago. Running the caravan park around the clock, he finds a non-negotiable break at 'beer o'clock,' where he shares drinks and stories with travelers. In the 1970s, Smith met his wife Alice, a new arrival from Hobart, at a stock auction in Longreach . They moved to Brisbane, started a family, and faced the challenges of cancer and single parenthood.
Smith's daughter, now based in Brisbane, is proud of her father for turning 70 and successfully running a caravan park in Longreach, far from his support network
