G’day legends! Ever heard of Granny Grommets? These legendary women in Albany, WA are proving that age is just a number when it comes to catching waves!

This week on Aussie English, Pete and his old man, Ian, chew the fat about these inspiring women who are making a splash (pun intended!) and getting international attention. We yarn about everything from what a “grommet” actually is (and the slightly dodgy way it’s sometimes used!), to the explosion of extreme sports like skateboarding and scooters, and why rollerblading seems to have gone the way of the dodo.

Plus, we get into the nitty-gritty of social connections, especially as we get older, and how important groups like the Granny Grommets are for staying active and connected.

We even have a laugh about our own social quirks and how much harder it seems to be to make mates these days.

So, if you’re up for a fair dinkum Aussie chat about surfing, aging gracefully, and the changing landscape of social interaction, then give this episode a crack! What are you waiting for? Hit that play button now!
