Wikipedia interests
Having chosen New Zealand as my home, I take an interest in anything from my adopted country. I have a special interest in:
- geography (built environment and water),
- history
- people
- politics
- civil engineering
- transport (especially cycling)
- and somehow, I've become interested in rowing; between December 2017 and August 2018 I wrote articles for the European Rowing Championships covering the editions from 1893 to 1973 (65 articles) plus started circa 450 rowing bios in support of that exercise
