A native Pom, I moved to Australia in 2000, becoming a permanent resident last year.

I'm on a seriously long holiday from my regular job*, which allows me the privilege of helping friends plan more sustainable futures, and volunteering gardening with the Katoomba community garden most Fridays, occasionally at the Hawkesbury Earthcare Centre, weekly at Native Plant Reserve and a local landcare group in Glenbrook.

When I'm not in a garden, I can be found mostly behind a computer, volunteering on www.OpenAustralia.org, bringing political transparency to all Australians and occasionally helping people with computer stuff.

*Regular job is Visual Effects Supervisor for feature films - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0844331/ - on set supervision and digital effects production.
