Iain spent the majority of his working life in local government, mainly in the fields of recreation, leisure, public relations, special events and promotions. His last major involvement before retiring was as the Olympic Coordinator for the city of Blacktown, responsible for Olympic softball and baseball competitions of the Sydney Olympics. Since retiring in 2001, he has pursued his interests of travel, golf, reading, writing and gardening and in 2009 became part of a musical group called, ‘The Celtic Connection’, which does concerts in the aged homes in the Sutherland Shire. Iain has long interest in poetry and had a number of poems published in magazines and books. In 2008, he self-published a book of poetry titled, Iain with two ‘I’s. His concern that Aussie kids didn’t have much in the way of Australian Christmas stories was the impetus to write, Wally the Hairy Nosed Wombat: An Australian Christmas Story. This was his first children’s story. Both books were well received. His second book of poetry called My Cronulla came out in 2019. Iain has lived in the Sutherland Shire with his wife of over forty years; he has two married daughters and five grand children.voir moins
