Location near Launceston, Tasmania, Australia
Introduction I was born in Germany during the Second World War and migrated to Australia after completing my University Degree in Electrical Engineering at the age of 26. For the next 40 years I worked in our shipbuilding industry, in the offshore oil and gas industry in Bass Strait, in the phosphate mining industry in Nauru and the industrial gases industry in Australia and Asia. For the last six years before my retirement, I was General Manager/Executive Director of a medical company, developing and marketing medical equipment. But that’s another story for another day. Every spare moment I could find in that hectic life, I was a fisherman. So when the opportunity came 10 years ago to retire from my professional career and change his frantic life in Sydney’s big smoke I embraced it with both hands. There was only one destination, the lakes and rivers of Tasmania. I have been here – fishing with a fly- ever since. My dream had come true, I had arrived and found my new home!
