About me
Having previously lived in Sydney, Perth, and Wollongong, I now live at Yulara (the town at Ayers Rock) Northern Territory. I love living in the desert, it’s so “clean”, as the late Howard Hughes also believed.
For the past 12 years I have worked as a tour guide, Previously 10 years in Sydney doing tours to the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, etc. For the past two years I have been doing tours throughout central Australia originating from Yulara and Alice Springs.
I have visited most palces in Australia. But in the coming years I intend to visit ALL places in Australia.
Overseas I have visited: Hong Kong, England & Scotland, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Fiji, China, and New Zealand.
I am currently writing a book that tells the story of the murder of an aboriginal man in central Australia in 1940.
