About Retired Rascals
We are Ian & Pauline and Retired Rascals is our lifestyle and our business. While we are 60 years old give or take, with bodies that show their age, mentally we are still young at heart and love getting up to all sorts of adventures as we travel around Australia in Ernie, our Ford Everest and Sunny, our 2010 Sunland Patriot caravan.
We had planned to follow the convention path of working until into our mid or late 60’s before retiring and travelling Australia. But, life had different plans and we both had to deal with our individual serious life threatening issues with a few months or each other.
We made the decision our working days were over and hit the road, determined to make every day a good day and we want to share our travels with you

Our vital GVM/GCM calculator ensures your setup is safe and legal for every journey, giving you complete peace of mind.
