A Personal Profile

I have been sea kayaking since 1979 and a keen photographer well before that. I live at Bridport, a small seaside town in North East Tasmania . My wife, Bev is a Communication consultant. We have two grown up children, Chris and Sarah.
It has been seven years since I retired from teaching at Scottsdale High School. I still go on their Outdoor Education camps especially the Survival camp. The school has an extensive 4 year Outdoor Education Programme. All students take part in this programme which culminates in a 5 day "Survival Camp" in year 10. At present I am Commodore of the Maatsuyker Canoe Club.

Since I retired I have been sea kayaking in many overseas locations including New Zealand, Thailand, Fiji, Croatia, the Greek Island of Milos as well as trips in Australia including Hinchinbrook Island, Whitsundays, Eden to Mallacoota and a circumnavigation of Kangaroo is in South Australia. Next year, 2008, we are going to cross Bass Strait again.

In recent years I have been making DVD's on a range of subjects, mainly to do with outdoor activities including the many sea kayaking trips by the Maatsuyker Canoe Club. These include:

• Tasmanian Sea Kayaking Video Clips of all Trips  VIDEO No8. This is a good video to get first as it shows the more spectacular clips from all sea kayaking trips.
• South by South West  VIDEO No9. This video contains clips from the two week trip to Bathurst Harbour and Maatsuyker Island in 1997. Video clips from these trips are included in video No8. All DVD's come in video cases with attractive covers featuring photo's from the trip.
