OTHER HOBBIES. 4WDiving, exploring tracks, drinking.

I GOT INTO CAMPING WHEN. In High School.

TOUGHEST CAMPING TRIP. 1983, Three of us camped at the First Sun Caravan Park Byron Bay, bought a Cartoon of beer, ate pizza, feel asleep maggoted, it rained(like flood rain) tent leaked, woke up hung over, wet and hungry.

If I WASN'T CAMPING. I'd be looking at maps.

I'M REALLY GOOD AT. remembering sick jokes,

I'M REALLY BAD AT. Telling them at the most inappropriate time

FAVOURITE TV SHOW. don't have one

FAVOURITE TV CHARACTER. Any Aussie comedian with a great sense of humor.

MAJOR HATES. Rude people, bad drivers and litter bugs,

I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO MEET. My Dad and show him his grand kids he never got to see.

BIGGEST REGRET. None, for all the Shit I've done, Good & Bad, it makes me who I am today.

SMARTEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. Marry my wife, my Dad would agree with this.

MOST AMAZING DISCOVERY OF MY LIFE. Being told that my wife was pregnant with our kids.

I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO. Out live my kids.

BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. Now.

BEST ADVICE I'VE EVER HAD. Don't gamble what you can't afford to loose out of your back pocket.

ADVISE TO NEW CAMPERS. Listen, share & travel safe.
