Partying like it's 2006 on Twitter, here's my #introduction post:

Terminally online ex-pat
#Tasmanian with a head removal scar to prove it. I've lived and travelled in a bunch of places.

I live with my partner and BIL (a person with disabilities)in the bush in Djiringanj Yuin country and run a B&B in the mountains of the Bega Valley (
https://rocklily.com.au/) in a place called Brogo (NSW, Australia).We're 25km from the nearest town (Bega) living on 100 acres of primarily remnant endangered forest (https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10110).

I also work on a large
#dairy #farm (1800 acres/728ha) where we run between 800 and 1000 cattle supplying to the Bega Group.

I've spent the past 20 years as a service designer (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_design) with expertise in #government and the #publicsector, #userexperience, #servicedesign, #orgdesign, #opengovernment, communications, #innovation, designful #leadership, and organisational #culture. I'm mostly retired (but hire me, I'm good) from client work.

You'll see posts from me about
#bushlife, our journey to #offgrid, #conservation, #biodiversity, #homesteading, and ethical feral species #hunting, the #outdoors, #sustainability, #righttorepair and #handyperson things, and #RFS volunteer firefighting.

I'm into
#archery, being a husband, dad, and carer, #gaming (console #PS5, #RPG, #ttrpg, #boardgames), and #progressive and #Green politics, particularly #auspol. I'm a fan of many sports, with a competitive background in #gymnastics (coaching), traditional #taekwondo (practitioner and instructor), and #powerlifting (elite masters competitor). I support the #Brumbies in Super Rugby, #Vikings in the NFL, and #FCStPauli in football.

Applications for seats on the Dairy Australia board close tomorrow and it's apparent they aren't getting what they want. Considering applying. My past in org design might be useful.
