An Australian who loves travel, history and general knowledge. Most of my articles will concentrate on geographical locations in Australia or Papua New Guinea, where I have lived for two years though lately I have been diverging off into another interest - rail lines.

Articles I have created .. and like

• Mount Wilhelm (climbed twice)
• Kokoda Track (there existed a previous one, but about the WW2 campaign)
• Paterson, New South Wales (My home town)
• Finger Wharf
• 1998 Papua New Guinea earthquake
• Samarai

.. and ones I have expanded

• John Hinde - we miss ya mate.
• Sepik
• Ramu
• Mount Victoria, New South Wales (a place I own land at)
