Greetings from Australia!

Gidday everyone!

I'm Matty, from Townsville of northern Australia. I am hearing impaired (wears hearing aids), and have mild symptoms of AS disorder. I am professional at sign language. I grew up in primary school with everyone does sign language. We do it British over here mostly.

So, now I'm graduate student at James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland. I am studying Bachelor of Science, majoring in Environmental Sciences. I am also doing internship with the university's sustainability program. Hence why I love the environment so much. I will finish my degree this November (can't wait!).

However, in my own spare time. I usually go do some photography, explore the nature with the environment, travelling, play sports, going to gym and do some men's job! I have been professionally played ten pin bowling as a sport before this year, however the uni course has brought me to stay on campus

So, if any one would like to pop in say hello and want to know more about myself. Don't be shy come in here

Actually you know that Townsville is in North Queensland?!!! Darwin is in NT.

Well its so beautiful up here, lovely warm sunny and monsoonal skies. Very isolated city from the urbanisation. Great country and city lifestyle combined. Plenty kangaroos around! Everyday!
