Born Longford Tasmania (41S26, 147E08) 11th March 1955, 12.07 PM AEST (02:07:00 GMT).
I live on a four hectare bush block at Mayberry in rural Northern Tasmania (population 20) – beef country, in the foothills of the central plateau.
I am happily single, no exs, no kids. I am financially independent with an income from share market investments.
Former occupations include builder’s labourer, contract apple picker, acupuncturist, homoeopath, and business manager.
I have been composing for more than 30 years.
