G'day my name is Mick.
I have a love for all things outdoors, particularly ultra long distance hiking. I've completed the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand, the Pacific Crest Trail in the US and many, many tracks and trails at home in Australia. Day to day I'm a forest firefighter and have the opportunity to work internationally. Much to the annoyance of my neighbours I also have 20 years under my belt as a drummer for several bands.
