CAREER about 20 yrs as a community worker in Springvale and Melbourne, Victoria, Aust.

INTERESTS Tennis, bushwalking, photography, digital art and reading
Worked as a voluntary leader for YHA bushwalking and VNPA. Established S'vale Community Health Bushwalking & Cycling Grp. Also walked with few other clubs based in Melb.
My first visit to NZ was about 20 years ago and Routeburn Tk was my first. Have been back a number of times and tackled many tramping routes located in both North and South Islands. My recent trip over NewYear 2010 included tramps in Fiordland & Mt Aspiring NPs and I look forward to a return with a plan to go tramping in Nelson Region, Kahurangi NP where I walked Abel Tasman Coast Tk, Heaphy Tk and Travers-Sabine Circuit.
Currently enjoy solo tramping with the interests in health, navigational development and photography.
