Bedtime Reading for Grey Nomads contains several short stories that relate to our past and concludes with a story of the challenges we may be facing in the future.While John Griffiths was travelling around Queensland it occurred to him that every town has one or more monuments, buildings or places that are unique to that town or district. But for John it was the story behind the monument, the building or the place that sparked his interest. He needed to know more.History is shaped because people wanted to be part of something and the consequences of their actions, just like the men and women who had gone before them, make Queensland and Australia what it is today. The stories of how things got to be the way they are should not be forgotten.John Griffiths hopes his book will help readers get to know how he feels about his country Australia as you read his stories. John believes that his journey is something of a two-way street. He asks his readers to send him photographs and a note of something they have discovered... something that they feel needs to be remembered to remind future generations of who we all are and where we might be headed. It does not have to be unique and it may have been written about by someone else before, but John would bet London to a brick that there is something in each of his reader’s past that makes these places special for his readers.John Griffiths believes that his fellow Grey Nomads, are the ones that hold the key to the future by not letting the past be forgotten. He believes his readers are the people who search out things and have fun while they are doing it. The very people who smile and say, ’Well, how about that. Buggered if I knew that before.’
