I graduated from the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University) in 1975. In 1976 I started at Murdoch University as a graduate research assistant working on the reproductive biology of marsupials, mainly tammar wallabies (what else!), but also dabbled with quokkas, honey possums, southern brown bandicoots and agile wallabies. This involved many field trips to the South West of Western Australia and the off shore islands, including several trips to Kangaroo Island, South Australia (someone had to do it!)
After five years the research unit planned to relocate to Melbourne. I decided on somewhere more tropical, Darwin seemed the obvious choice. I arrived in Armidale in December 1981, but missed summer that year. It was on a Thursday.
Employed as a wildlife technical officer, I am involved in all units with a wildlife flavour. These include::
- ECOL 210/ 220 Ecology
- EM251/561 Evolution, Ecology and Landuse Impacts
- EM331/531 Resource Survey and Habitat Evaluation
- EM423/523 Wildlife Management
- EM453/553 Biological Conservation
- EM422/522 Park and Wildland Management
Research support and interests have mainly been in the area of Vertebrate ecology and wildlife management giving me experience with all Australian vertebrate groups. I have also been involved in numerous fauna surveys, and established captive breeding colonies of rufous bettongs and pilliga mouse.
