After finishing year 12, I went to Europe for nearly 6 months with my family, mostly Greece. Upon returning I joined the Army and spent 10 years in that, traveling within Australia and overseas. I discharged in 98', returned to the Gold Coast where I lived for a few years, until meeting my soon to be wife. I then moved down to Melbourne for 15 months. I yearned once again for a warmer climate and the ocean, so we returned north but to the lovely Byron shire, where we bought a house and have now been since 2004. I got married, we have no children and I have a small gardening and landscaping business. Life is good. I attended the 50th anniversary in 2013. It was a shame that only a handful of the alumni of 86' were present. I'd love to get in touch with as many of you as possible with the possibility of an 86'/40th anniversary dinner in 2016.
