Description

For the artist, his love of the bush comes from spending a lot of time with friends at Gilgandra. During that time, he would spend time working on tractors on their property.

He was a fitter and turner machinist. He has always been clever working with his hands, working on everything from cars, Caterpillar machinery, jumbo jets, building sheds and his own windmill to power the shed. His hobby was woodworking, working in his shed with the lathes and other machinery.
