And anyway, so dad did that and, yeah, he did that for a few years and then he eventually got offered a job with working for the Qatar Airways in Doha in Qatar.

Yeah, so he, and that was his way to get his foot back into the aviation industry.

Yep, yep.

Because there wasn't much going domestically.

So he, I was in year 10, I think, 1994.

So 94, 95, 96, dad was living and working in Doha and he'd come home every six months for like a month.

And, yeah, so look, you know, it was me and my two brothers.

They're a bit younger than me.

Mum was working at the time.

She was working at a real estate agent.

So the Yanks say latchkey kids.

Well, you know, yeah, I'm the older brother and I've got two brothers eight and seven years younger than me and, like, we catch the bus home from school and, you know, do our homework, fuck around with the footy in the backyard or whatever and then mum would come home and – You pretty much brought yourselves up.

Yeah, yeah, look, and it wasn't, look, you know, look, Dad had to do what he had to do.

Exactly right, yeah.

Mum, great family, great upbringing, mate.

I've got no complaints.

You know, and then, yeah, like I finished school in 96 and I just didn't really have any aspirations to go.

I actually competed in snowboarding.

Because a lot of people don't, like Aubrey Wodonga's sort of not on the base of the Victorian snowy mountain.

I actually ended up, a lot of people don't know this about me, a few of the boys in the army did, but I actually represented Australia at the Junior World Championships in Ruka in Finland in Giant Slalom.
