How long have you lived in Parkes?
About 20 months. Before that, we were in Wellington, Cowra and South Australia.
What do you like about Parkes? First impressions are the cleanliness, the friendliness, and that it’s a very progressive town.
Where do you work? I co-manage the Astro Dish Motor Inn with my wife Valerie.
What do you enjoy most about your work? Meeting such a variety of people, and becoming friends with the regulars.
What do you do with your free time? I go to Rotary and Lodge.
How do you like your coffee? I don’t drink coffee – I drink just black or green tea, no sugar.
What makes your day? Getting the rooms stripped and the laundry done early!
If you could go anywhere in the world on holiday, where would it be? Probably skiing at Sun Peaks in British Columbia, Canada. We had a wonderful holiday there before we came to Parkes.
