came about because I was quite young as a commission officer and I'd never relieved as a boss, never relieved as a superintendent.
And my boss, who was a fantastic operator, a great leader of men and women, Alan Clarke,
He was my boss on the central coast of Tugwell Lakes.
And he was moving on to Brisbane Water, so Gosford.
And so Tugwell Lakes was becoming vacant.
It would go into the promotion pool.
And he spoke to me about throwing my hat in the ring.
He said, look, you're a dark horse because you've never relieved and so forth.
But he said, I'd encourage you to have a go at it.
And I went home and spoke to my then wife, that's my first wife, and she was very supportive.
But she said to me, and I'll always remember her words, if you don't have a go and some other dickhead gets the job, you're going to be coming home complaining nonstop.
And I looked at her and went, you know what, you're right.
So I'll have a go and just see what happens.

Back then?
I think I was 36, something like that, or 37.
That's pretty young, isn't it?
Yeah.
