I have had many friends travel overseas, and still I ask them, have you explored your own country first! I love life and would go anywhere, whether it be in Australia or any country in the world, but wouldn't you wan't to know your own country!

I am also on a disability pension & I travel intrastate and interstate several times a year. You have to learn to prioritize better if you want to travel. I would go nuts if I couldn't get my R&R. I am very lucky to have lots of family & friends so I don't have accomodation costs, but when you can get $39 fares to QLD from Melbourne it really helps.
If you travel to TAS on the Spirit you can get pension discount on your berth.
Tavel by train either intrastate or interstate you can use your free travel that the government gives you with your pension card renewal annually, so if you were going to Sydney you could use your free travel to Albury & then pensioner discounted ticket from Albury to Sydney.
So there are ways and means.
