The western Queensland floods are still taking a toll on farmers, with many unable to assess the full extent of livestock losses.

Owner of Esk Beef and Director of AgForce Cattle, Ben Drynan, told Dean Miller on 4BC Drive, "It's really hard to quantify it because a lot of properties still are in flood conditions, so they can't get a stocktake on their inventory of livestock that they've actually lost."

"It's going to be just absolutely devastating, for primary producers that have put a lifetime into breeding quality stock just to see them washed away."

"So there's the financial toll that they're incurred, but there's also the emotional toll as well. And that's that's really hard to measure," Mr Drynan continued.

The way Australians think about retirement is changing.

More retirees are heading back to work, not just for financial reasons but because the emotional and mental shift after leaving a career is just as significant. 

CEO of the Australian Psychologist Society Dr Zena Burges told Dean Miller on 4BC Drive, "There's quite a lot of research that shows that work is good for your mental health because it gives you a sense of purpose, and it also links you with other people."

"And if you're an older person in a workplace, often you take the role of a mentor of younger people, but older people also are quite capable of learning new skills and enjoy the challenge of doing so," Dr Burges continued.
