On a more personal note

I am a passionate motorbike rider. As a patient, you will no doubt hear all about it at one time or the other. It is a joy to ride along with my fellow riders on Australia’s most beautiful winding roads. I have discovered the most amazing places and kindest hearted people. It also helps me to clear my head and come back home and work refreshed and energised. When I am not working or riding you will find me at home gardening - I am a keen environmentalist and animal lover.
I also confess my weakness for a good craft beer. My favorite is the almighty crafty pint Six String made locally at the Central Coast. Something to enjoy at the end of my working week!
