G'day


My name is Ray and I live in Sydney, Australia, but was born and grew up in Hertfordshire, UK. I first started contributing to Wikipedia in September 2005.


I am a professional astrophysicist, but prefer not to write Wikipedia articles on that as it's too much like work (although I'm happy to help out where necessary). Instead, most of my work in Wikipedia tends to be around the culture of Indigenous Australians, especially Aboriginal Art and Aboriginal Astronomy, and issues facing Indigenous Australians today .
