Lives in Australia Gold Coast, Australia

About me:

Now in my sixties, I'm a firm believer that you don't stop having fun when you get old, you get old when you stop having fun. Therefore, apart from doting over my wonderful wife of forty-something years, my children, my three fantastic grandsons and dog, Rex, I have fun by travelling often and having hobbies. I'm a keen 4 wheel driver and have crossed most of Australia's deserts where roads are more like tracks. Obviously, I'm a keen photographer with very modest talent and it's those two activities that resulted in my nickname. My other great hobby is American railroads both full size and HO models. I've been a member of the Union Pacific Model Railroad Club in Brisbane for about 25 years and also a member of the Santa Fe Historical and Modelers Society in the US. I worked in my family's bakery business early on then had my own gas station business for 20 years. I spent the last 14 years before retiring as the COO of a tyre import and distribution business in Australia, and regularly visited suppliers in the US and China through that time. Most of that time I was too busy for my hobbies but rekindled them when I retired a few years ago. My main interest in photography is landscape and street. And feed that interest with regular travel both within Australia and overseas. Without doubt, we now have the most advanced and affordable cameras although you can easily spend an unlimited amount if you get GAS! I hope I never stop having FUN!
