Welcome to my website.bobhaldane1.JPG (22933 bytes)

The purpose of this website is to give some insight into my work and interests: past and present. Noted in the past among family and friends for my aversion to computers and my insistence on always writing with pencil and paper – including a doctoral thesis – I have recently moved into the computer age and this website is for posterity: an acknowledgement that my children and other descendents will probably learn more about me in cyberspace than they will from tomes or tombstones.

I retired from the Victoria Police Force in August 2001, after almost thirty-four years service and have maintained my local links in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

I have a particular interest in the gastronomic history of Gippsland and I am currently researching and writing a history of grape growing and wine making in Gippsland.

 I am an Associate of the Gippsland Heritage Journal and a contributor to Age Epicure and The Age Good Food Guide.
