With degrees in Physics and Mathematics, Rod has worked as a science educator for over 40 years. He established and ran a public observatory at Uluru in Central Australia for several years and since returning to the east coast has been actively involved in the public education of science wherever he has gone. Rod is currently the President of Orange Planetarium Incorporated where he is in the process of establishing a planetarium in his adopted town of Orange, NSW.
