I grew up on a mixed farm in the South Burnett region of Queensland. My primary schooling took place in a one-teacher school which was situated in the middle of farmland. After that it was five years of boarding school. I worked in various locations along the extended J-curve from Cairns to Adelaide. Each area had its own variety of agricultural pursuits which extended my knowledge of the challenges involved. I am now retired and living on the Sunshine Coast.
