From 16 years old travelling the world by ship to a lifeline commitment to green space preservation & conservation
On this week’s episode of Stories by the Wayside, Jon is joined by the life and memories of a man who has a real penchant for adventure. He set sail at only 16, and travelled the world on a ship, following the sun for many years. His tales are both vast and intimate.
From marrying at Wayside in the 1980s, to his deep commitment to preserving the green spaces around Sydney, our conversation touches upon the significance of community, the essence of open spaces for mental health, and the delicate balance between loneliness and solitude.
He met Rev Graham Long, while he was selling the Big Issue, and Graham’s commitment to buying the magazine from him week after week, led him to Wayside.
At first, he was a visitor, and now he's a friend.
