Building a Sustainable GT40
I'm currently working on a unique project – building a GT40 with a Tesla electric motor, largely powered by my home's solar panels and Tesla battery panel. This project not only showcases my love for classic cars but also my commitment to sustainability and innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
Supporting Anti-Slavery Charities
One of my proudest endeavors is organising PingPongAThon, an event held in October around Australia. This event raises money and awareness about child sex slavery, known as "Ping-Pong" in Thailand.
Through Ping-Pong-A-Thon, I support charities like the International Justice Mission, which rescues, houses, rehabilitates, educates, and prosecutes perpetrators, making the trade unprofitable.

Gliding Achievements
With over 3000 hours of flying experience, I've broken many state records and one national record, and won OLC Australia a couple of times. My retirement in 2022 after flying the Morning Glory on my last flight marked a fulfilling chapter in my gliding journey. Gliding is a sport that offers a unique sense of freedom and tranquility, and I'm excited to share this passion with others.
The Swamp Stories
"The Swamp Stories" is a delightful collection of 26 stories about Sophie the Pteranadon and her prehistoric adventures. Written by my mother for my daughter Sophie, the book is illustrated with charming watercolours. Your child can even be the star of the story!
Wirraway Motorhomes
In 2008 we started looking at purchasing a motorhome. By this time we had spent quite a lot of time researching and knew the basic layout of the motorhome that we wanted.
We visited virtually every motorhome manufacturer in Australia taking over a week to see them all.
Although Wirraway did not have a large range of designs, the layout, suited our requirements. We felt that the quality and service, stood head and shoulders above any of the other products on the market. We spent a full day with Rob, discussing the broader and finer aspects of the motorhome, as well as the motor homing lifestyle. In principle, the Wirraway appears to be built to the best standard. Whereas other motorhomes we saw seemed to have many areas of cheap design and manufacture, particularly in the out of sight areas.
The slide out external drawer system making storage of so many things highly practical and dust proof is a great advantage. The typical hole in the side storage system we have found will see stored items rearranging themselves whilst travelling.
We came away with total confidence that the product and the quality that Rob promised will be up to standard. We are expecting delivery in April 2011.
If you are interested in the Wirraway Motorhome we would be more than delighted to show you ours. Just call me on 042 999 2468. Or go to the link on http://www.wirraway.com.au/ for more details from Rob directly.
