He has worked in a variety of positions, ranging from ‘Housing Work Contractor, to Frequency Testing, Injection Moulding. For several years, specialising in Dialysis equipment, he was on call at Richmond Airbase (Western Sydney), to be flown out to wherever in Australia, including outback regions, a specialist with his skills was urgently required.Paul came to the Gold Coast “before Covid”, bringing with him a “combined” family (both he and his wife had children from a previous marriage) of two boys and 3 girls.
“And what do you do to relax?” I asked him. Well, he certainly isn't idle. Fishing, from the beach, from rocks and from boats. Archery – not the highly technical type, but the one using a ‘bare’ bow, that is a bow without any fancy stuff. Rock Crawling 4 WD. And reading non-fiction about Electrical Engineering, science. Watching YouTube videos with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. “Who??” Well, check it out, click here. Tyson is in Astrophysics Science Communication… So, if you have never met a proverbial technician, a consummate engineer, say hello to Paul Fullagar!
