Events

I was born in Griffith NSW and spent my early years there. I had wanted to fly aeroplanes ever since I knew what they were. My family moved to Melbourne when I was ten so I spent my teens there. I started learning to fly at seventeen  on Tiger Moths. At that time an hour’s flying cost three quarters of my weeks pay. I finally achieved a Commercial Pilots Licence and an Instructors Rating but couldn’t get a job. I was married and the Air Force wouldn’t take a married trainee. However I found that tha Navy would and was lucky enough to get selected for Fleet Air Arm aircrew training in 1958. Training was with the Air Force so I was the only married trainee.

After graduation I went to the Naval Air Station at Nowra where I learned to Fly a Fairey Gannet, chase submarines, fire the weapons the Gannet carried, and land on a ship. I spent three and a half years flying the Gannet and then was transferred onto helicopters flying the Westland Wessex for a further time before leaving the Navy at the end of my short service commission.

I then joined Qantas where I flew Boeing 707’s and 747’s until 1990. I retired from Qantas and flew 747’s for Singapore airlines for five years.

After retiring from Singair we lived in England for three years then returned to Australia where I joined the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society and flew several of their aircraft.

We then moved to the Sunshine coast where I’m an active member of the Queensland Air Museum and fly regularly with a flying school.

n 1990 -1995 I had a very successful Electrical / Handyman business. I closed that down and travelled the world for 5 years, backpacking around and based myself in WinterPark Colorado, in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. During this time I took up scuba diving and after five plus years I thought it was time to head back home.
In 2001 I returned home and started a Scuba Diving business. It was very successful but with the addition of a wife and then a child the family commitments saw me move further into an educational role. My educational experience and my trade got me a job as an electrical teacher at TAFE in brisbane. I did this for 12 years and have just recently left TAFE and am now enjoying the hassle free life of semi retirement.
During the last 5 years I have found a great activity that gets me out and exercising. It was something that I tried to get my girls into and they enjoyed it while they were young but grew out of it as they got older. However I have continued on and have over 17,000 finds to my name. Geocaching takes you to places you would not normally go to, you will meet all kinds of wonderful people, here in Australia and overseas. While it is a free game to play it does like any sport require an input, that input is totally up to you.
In 2025 geocaching will be celebrating 25 years and it is a big party time. My goal is to run an event and share with the cachers of Australia what a great area we have as is the sunshine coast region. We have caches from mountain walks to paddles in rivers, beach walks and tree climbs. We have events of just a quick chat, a dinner catch up and even clean up days. There is something for everyone and the caches are placed all over the world, which is just another reason to travel.

Nerilee Sowter has dedicated the past three decades to the noble cause of international not-for-profits, where she has tirelessly worked to transform the lives of those trapped in poverty and slavery.
Her journey to helping children get out of the sex trade began in 2011 when she felt a powerful calling to be an advocate for children sold into the sex trade. After numerous eye-opening trips to some of the world's most vulnerable regions, she recognized the urgent need to be a voice for these enslaved children.

In 2014, Nerilee embarked on her journey with Destiny Rescue Australia as the Team Trip Manager, leading numerous teams on missions to Cambodia and Thailand, raising awareness about the harrowing issues of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Her commitment and passion shone through, leading to her appointment as Partnerships Manager, where she currently serves as an integral part of the fundraising and donor care team.
