Motor bikes, Fishing, Camping & Four wheel driving
I Paul Christensen enjoy getting out on a weekend or when i am on R&R riding my Harley Davidson out in the country visiting towns and learning about the history of those towns. I also like to get out of the city and explore the many tracks that WA has to offer whether that be day trips or weekend trips or even the occasional week long trip, I am always up for an adventure where ever that takes me and if there is a chance to get some fishing in well I am up that too
