I am 47 years old, married and have two young daughters. I am a second generation Australian who comes from a glorious mixture of Italian, German and Irish ancestors. I live on a property where we raise beef cattle and grow medium fine wool. For the past three years I have taught Music to primary school children. Before that I had been a Secondary English and History teacher for nearly 20 years. My passions are Music and Literature and I have been fortunate in my life that I have been able to earn a living indulging my passions - to a greater and, sometimes, lesser, degree.
