( 12 ) People, past and present that influenced me and whom I admire.

These are the people that have had a profound impact on my life and who helped shape the person I am today. In days gone by people valued the Elders and Wise men, and women of course. We turned to them for guidance in times of need and when we needed another slant on a particular issue. 

                        Geoff Guest.

I first met Geoff and his good wife Norma Guest in the mid 1980's whilst conducting camp out safaris in the western tablelands. He was running a Training Farm for wayward Aboriginal peoples teaching them to become stock men and giving them a break away from their towns and communities. He taught me to be humble and showed me the meaning of unconditional love. If you want to know more about this man and his work just click on his photo above.

Kahlil Gibran

At a time in my life when I es cued organised religion i came upon a book called "the Prophet"by

Kahlil Gibran. His writings crystallised the many confusing thoughts I had about religion and

introduced me to the process of Free Thinking. He gave me direction and taught me about the

benefits of keeping an open mind about all matters. He influenced me to become Agnostic but

to stay Spiritual. His writings bought me peace of mind about all matters Spiritual and gave me

a positive outlook on life.
