Former work experience:
Currently on long service leave from BHP Steel in Newcastle, Australia - 17 yrs experience - currently communications engineer with Engineering Technology Dept.

Reasons for joining GP:
- encouragement from my sister Beth
- BHP steelworks closure in September 1999 will enable me to look at a career change, and possibly make it with Greenpeace; which would be an opportunity to find a career with a worthwhile purpose to help with promoting a greener planet.

Previous GP experience: Feb/March 1998 transit from Sydney to New Zealand as trainee radio operator for the 'get green' tour promoting renewable energy.
