: About Me

I am a field geologist with about 16 years work experience in various sections of the mining industry. My job travels have taken me all over Australia, and I've also done fieldwork overseas (recently China and Vanuatu).
My science interests include astronomy, but I'm also very keen to keep up with most other aspects of science and the amazing developments in the broad field of science in general.
I'm also an active musician and have been involved in various aspects of music(writing, recording etc) for 20 years.

Other areas which do not count as prerequisite subjects but may be viewed by university entrance exam...
