I've worked in Education all my life, mainly with adolescents in outdoor and environmental, and residential leadership settings. I do a lot of volunteer work in our community. Whilst I love where I live, I'm really happy exploring new places and the outdoors and being active. I love climbing, XC Skiing, mountain Biking, orienteering. Geocaching is a great "distraction" when solo travelling. But, have eclectic interests. Also enjoy meeting people, conversation and debating, and I love books, art and architecture, film and history, and the story behind the story. Polar history and ancient and old civilisations interest me in particular. I play recorder (well, not brilliantly) and look forward to Canberra Folk Festival each year. And I like textiles and knitting!
