• About Me

    Don't let the photo fool you.
    I'm a serious kind of fellow.

    I was born in the middle of last century. There was a tragic mix-up at the hospital. Another baby boy, born at the same time as me, went home with my true parents, who were wealthy graziers with several thousands of acres located in the high country of southern NSW. I was sent home with a woman who was destined to become a single parent, and who suffered from undiagnosed clinical depression. She went on to become a struggling carer in a totally dysfunctional family.

    To compensate for this setback I was later destined to meet and marry an extraordinary woman. Together we established the beginning of a fabulous extended family, which now comprises a son and a daughter, two children-in-law and four superb grandchildren.

    I consider my part in this venture to be the single greatest accomplishment of my life.

    The only other success of which I might boast, is the survival of four and a half decades as a would be educator, labouring within the NSW school system.

FOR ANY COFFS HARBOUR READERS – SOME BACKGROUND.

December 6, 2021

Before I became an angry old-ish man, I was an angry young man. Instead of standing in the middle of the street and screaming insults at the injustices in the world, I found it therapeutic to write my thoughts down, usually in essay form.

At about that time, my daughter-in-law, Cassandra, was toying with the idea of going into website design, a bit of a spin-off from the very successful I.T. business which she and her husband had created. Cass, believing that the stuff which I was writing needed to be published at least, offered to experiment with the creation of a website for me.

At that time I was allergic to technology, and I was doubtful that I would derive any benefit from publishing my writing. My purpose in writing stuff down was to get it out of my head. I had no intention that it should be read by anybody. However, Cass built a site which I could easily manage, and it hasn’t changed since. I haven’t needed any changes, and Cass has been so busy developing an amazingly successful web design business, that I would never ask her to do more work for me. She just doesn’t have the time.

Over time I found that people from around the world started making comments on the site about stuff which I had written. How they found the site I have no real idea. Perhaps they just googled a topic and found that I had produced content that related to their search. Anyway, it was pleasant being told that some of my opinions struck a chord with others, and I spent some considerable time briefly replying to commentators. Sadly, I had to turn off the comments function when I started receiving unwanted material in the guise of comment.

So that’s about it. If you look to the top left-hand corner of the front page, you’ll see a little letter “f”. Click on that and you’ll find the largely unused Facebook page which Cass linked to the site. I think that it can still be used, if anyone feels the need to make a comment about “The AfA Phenomenon”, or anything else for that matter.

Cheers,

Julian.
