Welcome to My Website.

HOT AIR BALLOONING IN AUSTRALIA, began in 1962 with THE AEROSTAT SOCIETY OF AUSTRALIA.. They used bottled gas rather than fire to provide the lift.

In 1967, as someone interested in aviation, I joined the group. Over many years I've produced this largely pictorial record which can act as an aviation resource. For those experienced in ballooning, there are many lessons here on what not to do!.

Besides ballooning, I have a section on the BASICS of FLIGHT and another on PARACHUTING - before the days of Tandem Jumps. You can explore further and follow my interests in Airships and the growing development of the amazing Skycats.

Hang gliding introduced me to a large tree and Spinal Injury. My mobility is now restricted, and rather than pursue aviation or other sports, I've been developing my skills as a writer.

I've finally completed my historical drama and it is now available locally and globally, in print and as an Ebook: -

UNDER THE WATER UNDER THE WIRE and THE MEN WHO SANK THE SYDNEY.
