From the links below, you may guess that I am very much into motorcycles. This picture was taken on the Great Ocean Road, when I still had my Kawasaki ZX6R. Unfortunantly, that is no more as I was T-boned by a nice 82 year old lady in the midday sun. I am told that I travelled approximately 30 ft through the air, but I have no memory of the accident. I was in a lot of pain afterwards, although I only suffered a broken wrist and angle. I have some <A HREF="gallery.html">photos</A> of what remains of my bike. <P>Some of my favourite roads in Australia are The Great Ocean Road (of course), the Yarra Boulevard and the Black Spur in Southern Victoria, and the Cotter Road and Kings Highway near Canberra. These roads seem quite popular to motorcyclists of all ages and types, and therefore there is generally a large police presence at peak times. </P> <P>One of my other favourtie activites is reading, and my current favourite authors are Anne Rice and Robin Cook. Currently, I'm interested in vampire / witches, which leads to some very entertaining reading! </P> <P>To find out more about me, check out my <A HREF="resume.html">Resume</A>, and check out some of my <A HREF="gallery.html">photos</A>. </P> <BR CLEAR="left"> <HR> <P> I am currently working in Melbourne, and I am about to move to Chicago. However, I was born in a little known town called Mildura. It now even has it's own <A HREF="http://www.vicnet.net.au/vicnet/mildura">home page</A>. Mildura is located in the top north east of Victoria on the Murray River. The Murray-Darling River is 2,310 miles long. Mildura has a population of approx. 18,000 people, and the district has approx. 38,000 people. Mildura's main industries include citrus, wine and dried fruits. </P> <P>The irrigation system was set up by the Canadian Chaffey brothers. Before coming to Australia, they help set up the irrigation system for Uplands, California. They then came to Australia and setup the irrigation system at Renmak in South Australia and finally settled in Mildura. Unfortunantly, the wealth of the Chaffey family was all destroyed in the depresion 1930. </P> <P>The wineries that are located in the district are Lindermans, Mildara, Stanley, Trentham Cliffs and Buronga Hill. </P> <HR> My Qix Java applet: <P> <APPLET NAME="Qix" CODE="Qix.class" WIDTH="700" HEIGHT="40" ALIGN="center"> <PARAM NAME="background" VALUE="525252"> </APPLET> </P> <P> </P> <FORM NAME="QixControl"> <P>Control the qix line with these buttons, or click on the applet and use the arrow keys. </P> <P> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Increase Lines" onClick="document.Qix.changeLineCount(1)"> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Decrease Lines" onClick="document.Qix.changeLineCount(-1)"> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Increase Speed" onClick="document.Qix.changeSpeed(-1)"> <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Decrease Speed" onClick="document.Qix.changeSpeed(1)"> </P> </FORM> <HR> <H2 ALIGN="Center">Links To Some Of My Favourite Sites</H2> <UL> <LH><B>Motorcycles</B></LH> <LI>The Army of Darkness road racing site - <A HREF="http://www.13x.com/aod/">Army of Darkness Racing</A> </LI> <LI>Euro Spares home pages and technical information - <A HREF="http://www.eurospares.com">Euro Spares Home Page</A> </LI> <LI>The American on-line bike magazine - <A HREF="http://www.motorcycle.com/motorcycle.html">Motorcycle Online Magazine</A> </LI> <LI>The U.K. on-line bike magazine - <A HREF="http://www.bikenet.co.uk">Bikenet Online Magazine</A> </LI> <LI>The Un-Official ZX6R home page - <A HREF="http://www.uidaho.edu/~gbunce/zx-6r/index.html">ZX6R Home</A> </LI> <LI>World Superbikes home page - <A HREF="http://www.superbike.it">The Superbikes Word Championship Offical Site</A> </LI> <LI>World 500 GP home page - <A HREF="http://www.dorna.com">DORNA/TWP - World Motorycle Championship</A> </LI> <LI>Motorcyles Riders Association Australia - <A HREF="http://www.pcpro.net.au/mraa/mraa.html">MRAA</A> </LI> <LI>World Sports on the Net - <A HREF="http://www.sextant.it/fs">Planet Sports</A> </LI> <LI>Ducati Troy Corser Home Page - <A HREF="http://www.tol.it/sports/ducaticorse">Ducati Corse Factory Team Home Page</A> </LI> <LI>General Racing Infomation - <A HREF="http://iccu6.ipswich.gil.com.au/~wildlife">Motorcycle Racing Infocenter</A> </LI></UL> <UL> <LH><B>Friend's home pages</B></LH> <LI><A HREF="http://shoga.wwa.com/~rdodson">Richard Dodson</A> </LI> <LI><A HREF="http://www.deakin.edu.au/~ewan">Ewan Carson</A> </LI> <LI><A HREF="http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~garvey/ebg.html">Emlyn Garvey</A> </LI> </UL> <UL> <LH><B>Computer Sites</B></LH> <LI> The best computer contracting site - <A HREF="http://www.interpro-solutions.com">Interpro Solutions</A> </LI> <LI>The best Windows 95 Resource site - <A HREF="http://www.windows95.com">Windows95</A> </LI> <LI>The Windows 95 How-To site - <A HREF="http://www.creativelement.com/win95ann">Windows 95 Annoyances</A> </LI> <LI>Java home page - <A HREF="http://www.javasoft.com">Java</A> </LI></UL> <UL> <LH><B>Computer GAME Sites</B></LH> <LI>For all the best and lastest games check out <A HREF="http://www.happypuppy.com/games/link/backyard.htm">Happy Puppy Backyard</A> </LI> <LI>Command and Conquer <A HREF="http://www.westwood.com">Westwood</A> </LI> <LI>Doom, Hexen, Quake, etc <A HREF="http://www.idsoftware.com">id Software</A> </LI></UL> <HR> If you are interested in how I designed anything on my page or would like to comment on my virutal residence page, <P> </P> <CENTER><IMG SRC="graphics/email1.gif" ALT="[Letter Box]" width="50" height="50"><A HREF="mailto:carson@wwa.com" onMouseOver="OpenMailImage()" onMouseOut="ClosedMailImage()">Please email me.</A> <P>Please note that the information provided on this page is provided with the best of my knowledge and my not be totally correct. </P> <P> Visit No#  </P> </CENTER> </BODY>
