Hello, my name is Dave and I am from Arcadia Vale, a suburb of the City of Lake Macquarie NSW...I am situated approximately 30 klm's South West from Newcastle and 100 klm's North of Sydney on the Western Shores of lake Macquarie, the largest Coastal lake in Australia. My main interests are Amateur (Ham) Radio, Heritage wooden boats, Woodwork and Computers. I am 58 years old and retired, so have ample time to pursue my hobbies.

My wife is Jennifer (Jenny) and she also shares my interests and pursues her main hobby of Family History research. She is very involved, being the President of the 'Lake Macquarie Family History Group'.
