Sidney
Green, B. App. Sc.
Denis
holds a degree
in applied science and has worked as an
industrial chemist
in Victoria and a maths and science teacher in
Perth. He also
successfully completed a Masters Prelim in
marine biology some years
ago (studying growth and behaviour of mussels
and their predation by
starfish) but ill health and other commitments
prevented completion of
the Masters program.
His
passion for
exploring unusual places led him some years
ago to flying light
aircraft and
scuba-diving, and when he travels he likes to
see things that are as
different as possible from home (as do wife and
son Ronda and Darren).
He
is now
co-proprietor of Araucaria Ecotours, driving
some tours and
doing much of the behind-the-scenes work, such
as book-keeping and
maintenance work, and designing our solar
electricity system and the
lighting for the Wildlife Ecology Centre.
He also writes
interpretive computer programs (e.g. the Bid
Call Quiz
which has proved very popular at the LNHA
Visitor Information Centre at
Binna Burra, and assist local residents with
computer problems.
He
enjoys
science fiction and astronomy and tries to keep
in touch with
what planets and other extra-terrestrial
phenomena are currently
visible.
Denis
has
travelled in all mainland Australian states and
territories
as well as several islands, and of course the
Great Barrier Reef
-
also in Fiji, Bali, South America and Europe.
