He is keen on gardening native birds, AFL, and a voracious (audio) book consumer. We both enjoy bingeing on quality TV drama and film.
Marie is a gifted painter and interior designer and her paintings and furnishings give the home its enhanced beauty and style. Marie has a passion and flare for architectural gardening and an attention to detail is something we are both proud of in the house and we love living in humid sub tropical Brisbane. We love entertaining in the indoor/outdoor lifestyle of BBQs fine food wine. and friends.
