I was looking for something else to do, away from playing.
The Olympic Torch was coming to Airlie Beach, and the council where putting on a big party. I got involved , and ended doing a lot of the planning and design of the show. It was very Successful. Then the council asked me to help out with the Federation Party. Which I put together the entertainment program. I also help the Rotary Club of Airlie Beach put on The Boat Show. Which is still going today.

At the beginning of 2000, while the torch was going on, I also got involved in the Local Community Radio Station .89.1 Reef FM.
It was fun putting it together and getting it to Air, but as a lot of community things they tend to fall apart. As did Reef Fm. For me I leant a lot and got hurt a lot. Just another chapter in my life.

The Radio Station days, things where always busy, I think I was working up to 70 to 80 hrs a week, also playing music at different places around Airlie Beach and Islands. I have made some close friends at the beach, I still like the place, and will
eventually move back to that area. I moved from the area in 2004, went back for a brief visit in 2005.

I have been involved with some of the local Artists,
I produced a track called " I'm Free" of the new
Kieran McCarthy CD
" Blue on Blue" . There are some great tracks on it,
it is worth a listen.

2007:
Has passed and I turned 50, that was a great night on Hamilton Island.
2008
I am still in the beautiful Pioneer Valley, Nth West of  Mackay. I don't get up to Airlie much these days, but  I still run the  Art Show for the Rotary Club of Airlie Beach every year. , I am still playing in the Duo and doing some solo gigs. Life is good at the moment, I really don't want to spoil it so I hope to still write that elusive number one track.  I put out my Instrumental Cd , but to this day nothing much as happened. Have been over to Singapore again, what a great place, I could live there. And now the Year has come to an end. 2008 was a testing year, lot of things going . In 2009 , In Jan going O/S Again to Buenos Aries and cruising down to the Antarctica. It should be fun. Look for new photos in March.
All is well and I hope all of you are well?.
