I did a carpentry apprenticeship in 1972 and on completion I went to Darwin, Australia to help in the rebuilding of that city after the cyclone Tracy had destroyed it on Christmas Eve 1974. After our return to New Zealand we settled down and built a home and had two children. I have worked in the trade for the whole of my working life doing a wide range of building work in my own business. I enjoyed our sojourn to Australia for this break away from the tools to try the orchard work until we returned home in January 2013.
Jill was born in 1959 in Kati Kati also and her parents were farmers / agricultural contractors. After our return from our OE she had worked in a fruit processing plant and after our children went to school she worked in the local library as a circulation assistant. She stayed in this job until we left for this trip and is now in an office administrator position.view less
