I GOT INTO CAMPING WHEN. Dad would take us down to the river as kids

TOUGHEST CAMPING TRIP. I took Jahna & the kids up to Cardwell for a week when we were meeting our celebrant. I thought it would be a good idea to tent it at the Beachcomber caravan park and take the boat without looking at the weather forecast. Our beautiful weather turned to drizzle as we went over the range just out of town & we set the tent up in those conditions. That night, the drizzle turned into TC Oswald. We lasted three nights then threw the tent in the bin & got a cabin.

If I WASN'T CAMPING, I'd be. Working or trying to perfect my home brew

MAJOR HATES. Scumbags & bludgers

I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO MEET. My nephew Zac, little man was taken way too early

BIGGEST REGRET. Financial mistakes in my younger days. Too much debt, too few assets

SMARTEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. settle down & have a family

MOST AMAZING DISCOVERY OF MY LIFE. The world of beer. It's amazing how many good drops are out there if you venture out of your comfort zone

I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO. Learn what it's like to live on my own again

BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. We lived in Sarina Qld for five and a half years. Beautiful place, good fishing & crabbing & an awesome depot to work at. Those guys are more like family than work mates, we can't wait to go back
