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.

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 Law hill. 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 out sail 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.

as my friends, space, and some of my favorite links. Hope you enjoy.
