Let’s get started! Tell us an interesting fact about yourself...
I was born in a town called Mbeya, in Tanzania (then called Tanganika), East Africa. If I lost my birth certificate I don’t know if I would ever be able to get another. I was born to Caucasian parents of English heritage, but being born in Africa has occasionally caused amusing confusion over the years, in certain situations. Growing up in Tasmania can add a further level of confusion when “Tanzania” and “Tasmania” are mistaken for each other. I remember my father (a Government doctor in Tanzania) telling me once that MS rates in Tanzania were relatively low, and that this is the case for all countries near the Equator, for reasons at the time unknown.
