Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Craig Gibson

March 22, 2018 By editor

Craig Gibson

How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here? I have lived in Parkes most of my life. I have spent time elsewhere, but have always called Parkes home because of the country life style and community spirit.

Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? I run and operate a small demolition and asbestos removal business. I am also with Fire and Rescue NSW for 13 years where I am currently the Captain of 417 Fire Station Parkes.

What do you do in your spare time and on weekends? In my spare time I do karate working towards my black belt. I enjoy time at the gym. On weekends I enjoy the company of my children and grandchildren.

What are you really good at? Being a fire fighter, it gives me the opportunity to help people.

If you could have a superpower what would it be? To protect people from fire.

What is your pet hate? People who throw cigarette butts out their car windows.

Tell us about your best holiday. Recently I spent a week at Narooma to catch up with family, we went kayaking with the stingrays and seals. It was just good to be with family.
