What do you most love about living in Crossley? The space and 15 Minutes of Fame at the Crossley hall.
Describe Crossley in five words? Spuds, wildlife, serenity, music, home.
If you could live anywhere where would you choose? I’m pretty happy in Crossley, but a house on the river in Port Fairy wouldn't be so bad.
What is your favourite holiday destination? Camping at Halls Gap. I'm always on the look out for a puma or a red-tailed black cockatoo.
What are you reading at the moment? A coin collectors guide to Australian currency. Did you know the picture of the Queen’s head has changed three times so far – 1966,1985 and 1995.
If you had a million dollars what would you do with it? Eradicate the weeds in Tower Hill, set up some glamping sites and a flying fox would be fun.
What career did you want to pursue when you were a teenager? Adventure tour guide but didn't get far as I'm allergic to horses, can't snorkel and I'm terrified of heights and anything fast.
What would your ideal Sunday involve? Gardening, lazy mid-morning breakfast, more gardening, barbecue lunch, more gardening, finishing the day with beers by the fire and a camp oven dinner.
What is something people might not know about you? I once taxidermied a mouse his name is Lex.
Do you sleep talk or sleep walk? Just sleeping, dreaming of tomorrows adventures
If you could go back or forward 100 years what would you do? I’d go way back to collect coins before decimal currency and learn to build dry stone walls.
If you had all the time in the world to pursue and perfect hobby what would it be? The art of building a dry stone wall. I have big ideas for our Crossley property.
When and where are you your most happiest? Hanging out in the garden with Amanda and playing frisbee with Graham.
Do you have a motto you live by? A balanced life. Work, exercise and play. Get it right and life is pretty awesome.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years? In Crossley hopefully admiring my dry stone wall.
