Dennis Milton HarrisonI have had a 45-year career as a Geologist exploring and developing resources. My career was an exciting one which allowed me to mix with people from all walks of life. I was very lucky to ride the Australian resources boom and participated in a numbr of oil and gas discoveries. I rose through the ranks and built up over 36 years of experience in Australia's premier onshore oil and gas basin, the Cooper-Eromanga Basin. In my later years I was a consultant to the industry and because of my knowledge obtained and promoted acreage through my own private companies. I have been retired from my resources career for some five years now. My wife of 50 years Kathy and I decided to downgrade to an independent senior's living village called The Village at Coorparoo. Best decision we ever made. It is the beginning of a new life for us. We are both participating in Pilates, Yoga, gym work and dancing. I am teaching Tai Chi, active in the Variety group, choir and writing. I have always loved walking the roots of which were formed during my extensive field work years as a geologist. I have cut my teeth on poetry, short stories and a novella, all unpublished, and have completed my first book You Could Be Prime Minister One Day Son - Memoir of a Baby-Boomer. The book has been six years in the making. I am interested in transformation, becoming, evolving into a new entity over time. Transformation can be an exhausting process of course but it sure beats stagnancy. I have experienced impermanence in my life attending four different secondary schools, being employed with nine different companies, self employed as a consulting and contract geologist for many more companies. Kathy and I have lived in six different houses in four different states of Australia. I have conducted field work in all states of Australia bar Tasmania and worked in New Guinea and New Zealand. Impermanence and change has become a Harrison family trait since that day in 1960 when my father decided to move from Perth to Melbourne. My fundamental motivation is to participate in creating a better world. My interests are family, health, ageing, psychology, philosophy, religion, travel, music, writing and the arts.
