ABOUT ME 1 September 2007
G'day virtual travelers,
On August 29, 2007, I turned 63. By the time I turn 73 I hope to have visited every nook and cranny of that map below. It's my backyard and I wanna go check it out.
At this point, it's a dream waiting to come true. I'm all ready to go except for two things; a permanent income (leaving my job is a no-no at the mo) and a caravan (also known as a trailer or RV). I got just about everything else.
My background includes the radio/TV/advertising industries, so I've been a bit of a song and dance man most of my life. However, I'm tired of working for other people - this time I'll be solo.
While I'm waiting for the BIG DAY (2009 at the latest) I'll potter around the local 'hood and get this site rolling. I presently live on the mid north coast of New South Wales, in Taree. It's called the 'Holiday Coast' for good reason... there's plenty to see and do around here so it's as good a place as any to begin.
The idea is to keep an online (written and photographic) journal of my experiences and the people I meet. I figure the Odyssey will take 10 years or so to complete, so stick around, bookmark this site, and enjoy the ride.
