WELCOME TO MY SITE

I am   re-constructing  please bear with me over this thank you

 My Google Blogspot is viewable on this site I use Blogspot for blogging just click on blog at the top

My youngest son was most enthusiastic about this and has helped  immensely when I got into strife doing it.

He provided the software used Or should I say paid for it as well as the hosting  I did the editing and creation of the galleries, blog, links etc.

First though here is a video of the Beach at Maroochydore just a small clip to give you some idea of the lifestyle here.My Son produced this video

 

Here is some of my music I liked in my younger days

 

 

 

 

There is also a video diary on this page about Australia; A Tip when watching videos on here the same applies when viewing them on my favourite videos and humorous ones.

There is also one on here of some rare black and white footage describing the beginning of the 1914-1918 War(1919 really as the war had not ended for some folk) sadly

and then The one in the middle

 

I am updating it all the time in the photo galleries and NOW. there are some of my favourite videos plus family ones as I get around to it.

My wife and I first came to Australia in the early sixties to get a new life being sick of the one we had in the UK; I have never looked back Australia is the much better country of the 2 of them, great lifestyle for one; this will do me just fine here in the Southern Hemisphere.

I did at one time think of making a site tracing my ancestry but I shall not bother now; this takes a lot of my time as it is.

My family here consists of three adult children three adult grandchildren and seven great grandchildren

Sadly my wife is now deceased but two of my children who both live quite nearby help me my youngest son in particular.

He gave me a computer some years ago to give me an interest and I admit to using it Hmm sixteen hours or so daily; more at times.

I have more computers now than the original I guess you could say I am obsessed  in that department

There is much to do on this site it features my maps provided by Google, Image galleries of which there are now four plus some videos

I add to these when I have the time

I have added 26 video clips at the moment more to come

I guess you could say this site is dedicated to the area where I live.

The Sunshine coast which in my view is a top area to live in the world, there is all manner of things to do here from surfing to hiking on the ranges.

HMAS Brisbane was scuttled just off the coast here after de-commissioning as a reef for divers so I added a video of a dive and a follow up dive one year later.

Keep an eye out for more Australian content.
