Brief Biographical notes: After a short taste of monastic life in the early 1960’s, a stint of secondary teaching and a 15-year career in the Australian public service, Pete Hancock left city life with his partner and three sons for the romantic alternative of a tropical island. A few years later, he took posts as a Community Advisor and Administrator on a number of Aboriginal Communities in the Northern Territory, South Australia and New South Wales. Since then Pete has worked as a systems and business analyst consultant in the UK, South Africa and Australia. Pete lives with his partner of 58 years in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. 26 April 2026
