ABOUT ME

Steady and good-natured. My wife Marg and I are parents of four grown children. I am a public servant and Marg is a school principal and Nonviolent Communication trainer.

I'm interested to meet travellers and listen to their stories. I like to share what I know about the beautiful and interesting places near my home on the south coast of Western Australia.
