G'day there,
I've been reading Wikipedia for a year or so, and reckon it's about time I started contributing. The idea of a totally democratic encyclopedia is fantastic - even though there are obvious dangers. Long may it prosper!
I'm an Aussie - live in the bush in a town not far from Melbourne. Interests - history, genealogy, cricket, education, the environment. Semi-retired training consultant, in transition from full-time paid employment to full-time unpaid employment! At last there's time to dabble in matters unimportant but interesting!
So far (May '05) my only contributions have been related to the First Fleet, including my ancestors William Balmain and Margaret Dawson, the Second Fleet, and the history of Norfolk Island.
