Personal Interests
- I am a keen bushwalker (tramping or backpacking for some of you) usually trekking in Kosciuszko National parks in the Snowy Mountains region of NSW.
- I have undertaken some walking on the Hume and Hovell Track during 2007 and 2008 (see link)
- In 2009 with some fellows from Southern Highlands of NSW I walked the Great North Walk from Woolwich (Sydney) to Yarramalong (near Wyong). In 2010 we walked from Yarramalong to Newcastle
- Then in May 2011 we walked from Ballarat to Bendigo on the Great Divide Trail
- In April 2012 we walked from Kiandra to Tharwa along the Aust Alpine Walking Trail
- In March 2013 we walked from Mt Selwyn (near Kiandra) to Gutherga Power Station
- In Nov 2014 I walked with my daughter & friends along the Tasmanian Overland Trail
- In Mar 2015 I started some special trips to the Kiandra area helping David Scott a historian with verifying sites. So far have done 5 special trips walking over 200Km in 15 days; mostly days trips although I did a 2 day back pack
- In 2011-13 I fed a lot of data to David after doing trips south of Kiandra to Boltons Hill, Nine Mile & Four Mile Ck areas
- I also am a member of Melba Shed which is a Mens Shed in North Belconnen ACT
- With Melba Shed have led 120 walks around Canberra & Namadgi areas, mostly short 4-15Km day walks
- I have also helped and worked at the Lifeline Bookfair held at EPIC in Canberra since 2008 as well as working at their book warehouse at Mitchell until Nov 2014
- I also do some social cycling with guys form Melba Shed usually around Lake Ginninderra, Ginninderra Ck precincts, to Gungahlin and back and sometimes around Lake Burley Griffin and back

Bulls Head, Brindabellas, ACT
These pictures were taken by ACTEW staff and I over the 29th-31st May 2000. During this period the Brindabellas experienced some of the heaviest snow falls ever. On Sunday 28th May snow covered much of the ACT and the surrounding regions.The following page offers a selection of pictures taken using a Kodak DC240 digital camera.

Exploring the Jagungal Wilderness : A bushwalkers guide to Kosciuszko National Park by Robert Green
This book was published in late 2015 providing useful insights & information about the 
eastern part of the Jagungal wilderness area of the park. It covers the area from Tin Hut in the south to Mackays Hut in the north & Daveys Hut in the east. It is generally east of the AAWT along the
Valentine & Grey Mare Trails. It covers many of the tracks & routes I have walked since 1990 and Robert has drawn on some of my information as well as those of the older horsemen and graziers. It should be emphasised the area is rugged & on the Great Divide and associated ranges like the Kerries and Mt Jagungal it can get to 2000m of higher. Conditions can change rapidly and walkers need to be properly equipped. Mobile phone reception is poor although there is some reception from Mt Jagungal, OKeefes Hut & near Tin Hut.
Information on where to buy the book is in the attached pdf document with some samples from the book.
