Live on Delwood Beach, Manly. Highlight of the day is generally the half hour on the back of the Ferry where the big issues are worked through. Have lived in Beijing, NW Fairlight, Brisbane, Cleveland, South Kensington (SW7), PNG and Sydney. Love sport, beer, bars and the insular peninsula.

Induction – Kate #109
The second of our three inductions was Kate. She’d made a very nice selection of beer from Mr Liquor and enjoyed the hazy voyage to Manly. Favourite beverage: Green Beacon POG Favourite sport to spectate: Cliff Diving Area of trivial …
