About Me
|
My name is David Taylor and I live in Brisbane, the capital city of the state of Queensland,
Australia. I live in an old "Queenslander style" timber house in the suburb of Holland Park West,
about 8 kilometers from the city centre. The house is completely surrounded by rainforest.
My interests include rainforest plants, the environment, music of all kinds but particularly rock and pop from the 70's and 80's, playing guitar (badly but with pleasure) and the occasional jam session with my bass guitar playing son Johari, all things Spanish (including food, music, culture, history etc), and particularly car trips into the country-side to explore rural, historic, abandoned and desolate places in Queensland and northern New South Wales, Australia. |

I share the house with my friend and fellow hispanophile and Spanish-speaker John, Guapo (an
Alexandrine Parrot) and Carlota (a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo). I have two sons; Johari (1979)
and Harith (1981) from a previous marriage and am still good friends with my ex-wife Aishah. I speak Chinese (Mandarin, but getting rusty) and Spanish. I work as General Manager of a division of a consulting company. Prior to that I started, successfully ran for three years and then sold a computer retail business. Prior to that, I spent over 21 years in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) as a Radio Technician (Air), Linguist (Mandarin Chinese) and Intelligence Officer. |
