Stopped for a While | Off the Rails Onto Fishing, Cliff's Story

Episode 18 of Stopped for a While pulls into Serenity Caravan Park on the Fraser Coast, where host Barry sits down with Cliff — a former Queensland Rail linesman whose 32-year career ended after a serious on-the-job back injury. Cliff shares his journey from working the tracks around Brisbane to rebuilding his life on a disability pension, all while staying close to family (helping out at his son-in-law's air conditioning business) and returning to the beaches near Tugun that he's visited since childhood. The conversation turns to good-natured fishing rivalry, an infamous e-scooter face-plant at a caravan park party, and the unpretentious joys of van life on a budget. Plus: birthday shoutouts to local legend Rob, and musings on the unpredictable 2026 travel season along the highway.
