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.

Articles I have created (and like)

• Mount Wilhelm (climbed twice)
• Kokoda Track (there existed a previous one, but about the WW2 campaign)
• Paterson (My home town)
• Finger Wharf (more to come on this. Lots of history to uncover first.)
