"My wife Kelly has mentioned the word ‘hoarder’ more than once, but she fully supports my passion for collecting pre- and post-war farming equipment, military pieces, and various automotive collectibles. It’s a passion that stems from ensuring we preserve our proud history in farming and the military. It also gives me a wonderful excuse to travel around Western Australia fossicking among second-hand stores and farms and meeting new people. You can imagine with tractors and such we need a bit of space, so we’re building a dedicated storage and display facility on our property. Maybe my ‘hoarding’ will pay off yet!"
