Squash
I played competitive squash for many years, including first grade in Adelaide and Canberra
and represented the Australian Capital Territory in 1972. I have been a Vice President
of both the South Australian and Australian Capital Territory Squash Rackets
Associations.
I played in a first grade grand final in Adelaide in
1971, winning my rubber, and several in Canberra in the 1970s,
being in the winning Canberra team on three occasions. In 1978 I lived in the UK
and was accepted as an entrant in the British Open. I
also played in the Australian Open and Amateur Championships during the 1970s.
Athletics
I am a qualified starter with Athletics Australia and for a number of years started at
meetings of the Australian Capital Territory Athletics Association. I retired from this
in 2001 after moving to a rural property.
Cattle Breeding
We lived from 2001 to 2009 on our own farm about 40 km from Canberra. On this
property we bred Murray Grey beef cattle as the Sunny Corner stud.
Cattle Bred
We bred the following registered Murray Greys:
which were sold to commercial farms. Blue and Bruno, at least, were highly successful as bulls, and all five had pedigrees
dominated by forebears from one of the two original Murray Grey Studs, The Glen, on the upper part of the Murray River,
where it was noted that Angus bulls mating Shorthorn cows produced grey offspring with excellent meat and character properties.
