About

About  Me -  Allen Sentance  (aka)  FISHERMAN .

Well for those who  do not know  me, I would like to give you a quick rundown on myself and why I have decided to launch this blog , which I am very excited about .

I was born in the Penrith Hospital  30-1-1951 , and my father  Fred Sentance,  who is still alive was at  that time working as a rigger on the  Warra- Gamba  Dam just out of Sydney.

Dad  soon after  my birth , I was 1 at the time , moved to  a town out in the central west of New South Wales called  Dubbo where he joined the Gov.  Railways.   At  that time the Railways issued their workers with a tarpaulin tent to live in , and it was located along side the  railway tracks, so they could service our water supply from the train to the tank.  We had no running water or flushing toilets, yet those were years I remember so well and  we were a strong family  unit even then.   We lived in that  Railway tent for near on 7 years and by  that time I was not the only child , by the time we left the Railway tent and moved into a new government housing commission there was myself , 2 sisters and mum & dad.

Education:

I began my schooling at  Dubbo West Primary school and went from kinda  to  6th form there.   Then I attended the Dubbo High School for a further  4 yrs and finished my schooling with the Intermediate Certificate, I was quite good at school and it was not a problem for me learning.  Unfortunately  I was  a kid who was happier outdoors or in the bush catching rabbits or fish , so managed to  get an apprenticeship so I could leave school as dad said  that  was the deal at the time.  A  plumbing apprenticeship which I did for  5 yrs.

SO  WHERE  FROM  HERE  YOU  MAY  ASK ?

I will leave any further personal developments in my life as a lot of the stories and adventures ,  I want to share with you all in no particular order, as I bring stories to the blog .   I will let you in on  a few secrets here and now,   I was a wild and adventurous lad up until I was perhaps 40, so stay posted and follow along as I  share them experiences.

I still love life and the body is  not  quite as capable as it was back then, although I am very healthy and still run up and down river banks or crash through the bush on foot getting to my secret water holes.

And  Who’s  Idea  For  The  Fisherman’s  Blog

I have a wonderful friend    Sean Rasmussen a renowned  Internet Marketer, who has been teaching me the ropes for the last 12 months .  Sean knew I was called the  FISHERMAN by all who knew me and said  , Hey  Allen  you need to start a  blog and tell the world about your life , at first  I could not see why  anyone would be interested in me and my life.

Sean  kept at me , …….and I had in fact started  4 other blogs in the past, some of them I still maintain and as time goes on  I will introduce them  to  you all . Then just as Sean had promised me , Allen just start writing & make sure it comes from the heart and it will surprise you who is interested in your stories and writing .  I now have people from around the world following my blogs and stories through the internet power of Social Media.

So  Guy’s  from here on in I want to tell it like it was, doing what I did then  and am still  doing now .  I promise you all I could never run out of  genuine and funny stories even if I  tried.  Also I moved to  The Northern Territory just 5 yrs  ago and it is one of Australia’s   Nature wonderlands  , I have finally found my spot in Australia to retire .  A  small village just  100km south of Darwin  called   Adelaide  River.  “Fisherman’s Home and Paradise “

Hey……Life is Good……
