How long have you lived here?

I've lived here for 13 years, coming from Gladstone in Queensland after having some health issues. I thought this was a great place to live.

What do you like about the area?

Everything - the people, the views, the changing seasons.

Would you like to see any changes?

Not really, this community operates really well - if it ain't broke don't fix it.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Knife making and knife sharpening. I run a business called Mr Blades, where I sharpen anything from garden tools, knives and more.

I like to walk, and I attend farmer's markets with my business.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

My visitors are mainly my nine grandchildren. So it's rafting along the river, walking the many beautiful trails, and just looking at the view from the front of my house.
