After marrying his childhood sweetheart he opened a number of successful pharmacies on the North Shore and Northern Beaches of Sydney, inaugurating Chambers of Commerce and Merchants' Associations in the process. The birth of a son and daughter during this time added to his happy life.
An inveterate seeker of new challenges, at forty-nine Rob sold his pharmacies, to become a property developer and student of Mid-Eastern History and the Italian language. Then came the call of the land, when he devoted his time and energy to farming a fifteen hundred acre cattle and wheat property in the Cowra region of New South Wales, down-sizing nine years later to start Australia's first 'Goosey Gander Geese' farm, along with a Tukidale carpet-wool sheep stud, on three hundred acres in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
In her mid-fifties Rob's wife developed a progressive degenerative neurological disorder and he became her full-time carer until finally she had to be admitted to a Nursing Home when he served as a Community Representative on the Division of General Practice.
It was during this time Rob developed a love of writing. It provided him with a degree of escape from the reality of the shattering of their life together. Over this period he wrote five novels in total, including Anna's Story which speaks of his wife's tragic terminal illness and its impact on their lives.
Fee-Jee, the Cannibal Islands, Sinclair's Retreat, The Chaos Vortex, Sardinia, the Brotherhood of Orso and Anna's Story were all penned in the early hours while his wife slept.
In 2009 Rob remarried and continued to live on his mountain-top at Mittagong, New South Wales with his second wife Trish until 2015, when they moved into the township of Bowral. His passion for the land and large scale gardening has now been replaced with a passion for leisurely walks into the village for morning cappuccinos! He still teaches Italian, travels extensively and is involved more than ever with his writing.
His latest works are 'Loveridge...and they call this Progress?', an attempt to express his concerns about some aspects of modern life, and 'Mending Michael' which deals with the ongoing traumas suffered by war veterans and the effect these can have on those who share their lives.vizualizați mai puține
