About

I am an amateur ecologist/environmentalist that believes in the scientific method, not climastrology or its associated astrological theories on ‘carbon pollution’ or carbon tax by politicians and media.

I started and still operate a not for profit plant nursery, teaching volunteers and Green Corps participants in all aspects of conservation, energy and the environment from a point of view opposite to the usual green template.

I supply seedlings from locally collected species to government, developers, landscapers, nurseries, aboriginal communities, schools and mining companies in the Kimberley and Pilbara.

My background after leaving university, after 1 year in Agricultural Science, is in livestock agency, cropping machinery, fishing and fish processing, while the last 11 years I have been CEO of Kimberley Environmental Horticulture in Broome, Western Australia.

I am the author of 91 flora related columns called Pindan Post in the Broome Advertiser, up until 2008.

My interests cover most of the topics covered in this weblog.

    Wow, you have been busy. Just stopped by to say good luck with the blog.

    Since you are a horticulturalist, you’ll appreciate the challenge of trying to grow some Antipodean plants in the UK – fine until this last winter: http://diggingintheclay.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/casualties-of-cold/
