Australian

Born and breed. Lived in most States and Territories. Attended primary and high schools in the Pine Rivers area, Brisbane, Queensland. Started sports in same location – rugby league, cricket, swimming, tennis.

Global traveller

I have a long bucket list with plenty of it ticked off. But equally as much still to explore. Typically in a different country 6-10 times a year. Want to catch up for coffee somewhere in a city near you, then there’s a good chance we can arrange it. Most recent two bucket list items – helicopter over the 12 Apostles in the Great Australian Bight and an autumn hike in the southern Rockies, New Mexico.
