About Mick

IT Email Administrator by day, Bass Guitarist by night and life-adventurer by the weekend. Somehow, the decades have developed me into a fairly well rounded individual with somewhat alternative and eclectic tastes. I enjoy a beer with the footy, a wine with some jazz and a soft drink with some cartoons. I've lived in Canberra for over 20 years, and whilst my town gets panned by the critics and locals alike, I think this place has an ever-growing and vibrant hub of youth, arts, culture and excitement that will one day rival the larger cities. My best travel tip: Don't worry about money. You can always pay it off later. Make sure you enjoy your trip to the fullest whilst you are there, because you will never have that time or moment again.
