This website is a summary of my notable travel and outdoor experiences including travel to unusual places, hiking adventures, sailing activities and marathons. The pages are organised by geographical area. At this stage I have pages for Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. There are subpages under each of these main pages to cover the various activities. There is also one page covering my community activities in and around Brisbane.

I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa. After much soul searching and emotional agony, I emigrated to Australia in 1983. Over the years I have lived in various cities in Eastern Australia, USA and Singapore and travelled the world for business and leisure. I am divorced and recently retired (from Rio Tinto, Aluminium Division). I live in Brisbane, Queensland in the pleasant riverside suburb of Toowong and have two wonderful and talented children, Andrew and Claire who both live on the Australian East Coast (Coffs Harbour and Cairns) with their partners Kate and Jason.

Some family photos from Christmas Day 2014 and their weddings are shown below. Most recent photo shows the new addition to our family, son to Andrew and Kate, Jamie Christopher who came into the world in December 2016.
