author : Mike DixonSome people never settle down. I started my career in astrophysics, worked for a while in Canberra’s Parliament House, became a science journalist, entered the diving industry and built a backpacker resort. I’m now retired, in the sense that I no longer need to work for a living. This gives me time for travelling and writing. I was born in the UK and lived in France and South Africa before moving to Australia as a young guy.
