He has worked in the education and training sector and managed numerous TAFE colleges across Queensland and New South Wales, as well as being a director of a number of Industry Training Councils.

He has owned and operated his own businesses in the Information Technology sector, and in the Tourism and Hospitality sector.

Upon arriving in Australia in 1964, Al had an immediate interest in Australian history, the bush, and has traced the path of many early Australian explorers across the Red Centre of Australia.

He concurrently developed an interest in Australian Bushrangers and also traced the path of these early Australians across most states.

After many years of studying the early
Australian explorers, colonial Police and the Australian Bushrangers, Al as the subjects of the book, also found Almighty God, albeit, whilst climbing a rocky mountain in Queensland.

Since writing his latest book, “Australian Bushrangers, the Police and God”, Al has spoken at numerous locations on this historical and yet very topical subject and is available to talk at your club meeting, your association meeting or at your church, as an evening function or at a breakfast meeting.  Al does not charge for any of these seminars or Australian Bushranger talks and would welcome your invitation.

The key to Al writing this latest book was of course his very close connection to Ned Kelly and the Kelly homestead site at Glenrowan West.   Al as a rural retreat in the hills that surround the Kelly Homestead site, his retreat is set high in the adjacent hills and was more than likely a key lookout for both the police and Kelly sympathisers, onto Ned Kelly’s childhood home at Eleven Mile Creek.

Al is available to talk at your club meeting, your association meeting or at your church, as an evening function or at a breakfast meeting.  Elderly Citizens Clubs, Probus Clubs, Football Clubs, Retirement Villages, Church Groups, Men’s Breakfasts, are all welcome to invite Al to do a presentation.   Al does not charge for any of these Australian Bushranger talks when they are within easy reach of Benalla, North East Victoria.  Al would welcome your invitation.
