Greg Zeuschner is not normally an excitable bloke. But when he woke up early on a September morning in 2018, he was jumping out of his skin for the day to begin. I was slightly nervous and a little excited because I could see the possibility of retirement was within reach. I was thinking, OK, this is the first step in the process that will see me enjoying life in Tasmania.
