Rob was born in Liverpool and like a genuine Liverpudlian, he of course enjoys the Beatles and follows… oh no! Not Liverpool Football Club but that city’s other Premier League club, Everton, aka ‘The Blues’. [I don’t follow Soccer, so I had to look it up: the last time they were English Football Champions was in 1986-87. Appears to be a character-building exercise, just like following the Blues in AFL… ☺ Ed.] Born into a large family of 3 boys and 4 girls, Rob is the only one to emigrate, and he made the decision relatively late, at age 31. That was some 40 years ago, and he came directly to the Gold Coast (Yes, the man has discerning taste!).Five years upon arrival he met the love of his life, Sharon, and founded the Australian branch of the Wilson family. They are justifiably proud of their four children and four grandchildren.
Rob is a self-taught professional photographer and video artist. Whilst he did, of course, the usual weddings and portrait work, Rob was engaged in a lot of other professional, commercial work. For the last 10 years before retiring, he also drove a bus full time.
In his spare time, Rob plays the guitar and sings (yes, Beatles songs, but also Cat Stevens, just to name two. We are working on him to bring his guitar to the shed soon!)
