Denis Sidney
Green, B. App. Sc.
Denis holds a degree
in applied science and has worked as an industrial chemist
in Victoria and a maths and science teacher in Perth. He also
successfully completed a Masters Prelim in marine biology some years
ago (studying growth and behaviour of mussels and their predation by
starfish) but ill health and other commitments prevented completion of
the Masters program.
His
passion for
exploring unusual places led him some years ago to flying light
aircraft and
scuba-diving, and when he travels he likes to see things that are as
different as possible from home (as do wife and son Ronda and Darren).
He is now
co-proprietor of Araucaria Ecotours, driving some tours and
doing much of the behind-the-scenes work, such as book-keeping and
maintenance work, and designing our solar electricity system and the
lighting for the Wildlife Ecology Centre.
 He also writes
interpretive computer programs (e.g. the Bid Call Quiz
which has proved very popular at the LNHA Visitor Information Centre at
Binna Burra, and assist local residents with computer problems.
He enjoys
science fiction and astronomy and tries to keep in touch with
what planets and other extra-terrestrial phenomena are currently
visible.
Denis has
traveled in all mainland Australian states and terrirtories
as wll as several islands, and of course the Great Barrier Reef -
also in Fiji, Bali, South America and Europe.
