What is the workplace compulsory retirement age Australia?
There is no statutory retirement age in Australia. The retirement incomes system (our superannuation system) permits a possible span of retirement starting between the ages of 55 to 70 years during which retirement savings can continue to accumulate or retirement income can be accessed. People who work beyond 70 are no longer entitled to the 9% superannuation levy imposed on employers, and people must begin to 'draw down' (spend their savings) from their superannuation before age 70.
However, our superannuation system is in a transition phase, and some the details of the changes are contained in the table below:
Age regulations and qualifications governing superannuation and social security systems
55
Age to which superannuation entitlements are compulsorily preserved. From age 55, preserved superannuation becomes available upon retirement. For people aged 55 to 60 years, Regulations under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS regulations) define retirement as permanent withdrawal from the workforce. A phased increase in the superannuation preservation age to 60 is to begin in 2015 and will affect people born after 30 June 1960. By 2025, people born after June 1964 will be subject to a preservation age of 60 years.
People aged 55 years and over can access a range of social security pensions and benefits depending on their circumstances, e.g. Disability Support Pension, Newstart Allowance, Carer Pension and Widow Allowance. From September 1997, superannuation assets of those aged 55 and over were taken into account under the income and assets tests after 9 months on income support (pending legislation).
60
Under SIS Regulations, after age 60, retirement may be taken to have occurred upon cessation of a period of gainful employment even if the person intends to re-enter gainful employment. Current qualifying age for Mature Age Allowance.
61
Women's current qualifying age for age pension. The age pension age for women is being slowly increased to 65 over the next 17 years (reaching 65 years in July 2013).
65
Men's qualifying age for age pension.
70
From 1 July 1997 people were allowed to continue to contribute to a regulated superannuation fund up to age 70, provided they are gainfully employed for at least 10 hours per week over the year.

Is it better to fly or travel by train between Cairns and Brisbane?
Travelling by train between Brisbane and Cairns is much more scenic, but of course it takes two full days, whereas the flight is just a couple of hours. Long-distance train travel is a truly unique experience, and preferable if you are wanting relaxing holiday travel. You see much more of the countryside than if you fly, and the stewards on board the train do everything they can to make your journey comfortable. If you choose to travel by train, ensure you book a sleeper cabin, and don't try the economy method.
What towns do you go through from Melbourne to Cairns?
This depends entirely on the route one takes.
The shortest route from Cairns to Melbourne is the inland route, through Hughenden, Barcaldine, Cobar, Debiliquin and Echuca. This route covers 2816km and takes a good four days to travel (about 34 hours).
The above route, however, travels through some very isolated country. An alternative is to travel south to Rockhampton, then inland to Banana, Miles, Goondiwindi, Moree, Dubbo, West Wyalong, Howlong and Chiltern. This route is longer but there is more for the traveller to see and do along the way. The trip is 3079km in length, and takes about 37 hours.

Do I need a licence to keep a capuchin monkey in Indiana?
I contacted the DNR office, asking about primates in general and lemurs. I was told that only a Health certificate was necessary at this time for monkey's and lemurs. I believe "great apes" (orangutangs, chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas) are not allowed or require a special license or permit. Because of Simian Herpes Virus, there may also be some restrictions on macaques, but I do not think these are in place either. There is a bill which has not been addressed yet in the state congress regarding restrictions to all primates, but currently it has not passed. I suggest you google the DNR for Indiana, and contact someone there directly. I believe there is a veterinarian, listed as a contact for further questions, whose office told me, no permits required. I did this about 5-6months ago.
