We are a retired/ semi retired couple. We moved to Sydney in mid 2012 from Cairns in far North Queensland. We enjoy good health and fitness and like to get out & about.
We both enjoy good movies and music (classical, jazz, folk). We are involved in Bushcare at our local Artarmon Reserve, attend a nearby gym a few times each week, volunteer for the Sydney Festival each January and the Sydney Film Festival in June.
We have 2 adult daughters. Elizabeth lives in Cambridge, England and Allison in Melbourne, Australia.
