Hi Colin, welcome on board.
My Father was born in Katoomba in 1922 but grew up in England. He went to sea in 1938 and was diascharged as a Second Mate in 1946 for medical reasons. He got involved with small passenger vessels in 1970, and finally retired in 1978 or thereabouts. His older brother, born in Melbourne or Adelaide in 1920, also went to sea but his career and life in general were much more colourful and lost touch with the family in the 1960's.
You will find a lot of members here with widely varied careers and a lot of accumulated knowledge on many varied subjects. Have a good look around and dive in!
Roy.
