Hi! This is just the beginning for me and I hope you will appreciate the time and effort that goes into making a homepage. Please be patient while I learn, and I hope your patience is rewarded by seeing some things that you may find new and/or interesting.

Here is a picture of my family.....

In addition to learning about writing web pages, I also enjoy fishing, swimming, 4-wheel driving, and camping.

Maitland, in South Australia, was where I was born, but I was raised in Port Victoria. Port Victoria, in its time, was one of the largest grain ports in south Australia, and it was a common sight to see bags of wheat being loaded onto trolley carts which were taken down to the jetty and then loaded onto large ships.



Although grain is now stored in large silos, Port Victoria once boasted some of the biggest grain stacks in the area. Most of the ships were 4-masted, and included the Viking, Passatt, Pamir, and Lawhill. For many years there were grain races from Port Victoria to England. The races were a challenge for the crew, and their only thought was to outsail the other ships. However, the origin of the races was quite simple - the first ship to reach England received the highest price for its cargo.

Today, Port Victoria is a tourist attraction. People come from all over the world to enjoy fishing , swimming, and diving near the wrecks. Of course many come to simply relax and enjoy Port Victoria hospitality.

I am Now Living in Perth Western Australia.



Next you will find some links to some great sites. Such as my friends, space, and some of my favorite links. Hope you enjoy.
