About the Author

At present I am 65 years of age. My wife of 45 years together, we have 2 children, a boy and then a girl followed.

My present position being that of a aged pensioner, my wife has a part-time position.

Schooling consisted of year 10 at a Government High School, as it was known then. Probably now called a College.

Past employment saw me in an Office position for the first 15 years of employment. Following, I have been employed in several labouring jobs. My mother provided me with a marriage certificate some 20 years back, which I never acted on. The certificate was one of an Ancestor, in the very early days of Victoria, Australia. I then began piecing our history together in the last 2 years. Thus the book, it took me the last 8 months to finish it on a casual basis.
