Hobbies and Interests
In my free time, I like to exercise frequently as keeping fit is important to me. I play a variety of musical instruments, although I particularly enjoy the guitar and piano. I spend a lot of my free time working on and riding my motorcycle to various places around the Douglas Shire. I also enjoy snorkelling and hiking. Camping and being outdoors are some of my favourite past-times, and I love to wind down with long walks on Four Mile Beach with my partner.
