Most memorable moment of previous Port Douglas
Port Shorts Film Festivals... 
2001 - Uzi 8mm Film Fest - Barring the theatre doors with more than 100 enthusiastic patrons in front of me asking when the six o'clock session was going to start - it was 6:45!!  The production had just arrived and the night went off like a rocket.

Chocolate or lollies?
Chocolate always chocolate.

Last thing you bought off ebay...
A DVD series called "The Insiders Guide to Happiness" - still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.  I'm a sucker for Australian and NZ drama series about the lives of thirty somethings........... e.g. Love My Way

Favourite quotation or saying...
It's a toss up between:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart" - Helen Keller
"Sleep is the best meditation" - Dalai Lama

Describe yourself in 4 words...
Highly capable, realistic, pragmatic and organised - these are some of the strengths listed about my day of birth, not telling you what the weaknesses are :D :D :D perhaps one was modesty??   

When not working on Port Shorts, what else do you do with your time?
Currently I am Hayley's mummy full time but usually I like to be involved in marine tourism.  My favourite job of the past was working with the wonderful crew of Undersea Explorer - a research and adventure diving vessel that used to operate in Port Douglas.  The future holds many options .............

If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
I think one wish would be enough for me and that would be to have my father physically in my world again.  

Favourite city or place?
Deià on the island of Mallorca

Something you couldn't live without...
My family and my extended family of friends

Favourite website...
www.portshorts.com now comes a close second to my new favourite oldspice.com - check out the videos, the best one is second from the bottom - I'm on a horse lol :) 

What would you do with $63.50?
Go out for a long scrum-diddly-umptious Salsa lunch - ohhhh selfish 

If you were reincarnated as an animal which one would you choose and why?
Stenella longirostris - or Spinner Dolphin for the lay man, of course!!  Why? because they spin longitudinally along their axis as they leap through the air.  Who wouldn't want to do that??  

Last thing you took a photo of on your phone...
Four Mile beach - I was testing out the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone (hence the profile pic as well)
