David Carman
How long have you lived in or around Canowindra and what do you like about living here? I was born in Canowindra and lived here until I was 18. I moved back to Canowindra about 3 years ago. I like the relaxed lifestyle, the eclectic group of people and the sense of community spirit.
Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work? I retired from the workforce 8 months ago. I enjoyed the people I used to work with as most enjoyed a good time and did not take it too seriously. I also enjoyed the opportunity to travel.
What do you like to do on weekends? I like to visit a few of the local social facilities and listen to the latest gossip and gauge whether fact or fiction.
What are you really good at? I would have to say that I am not really good at anything. Although I have never been beaten in the Worcestershire Sauce sculling contests on footy trips.
What is your pet hate? Domestic cats.
If you could have a super power what would it be and why? I’d like to have a super powered scientific brain, so then I could fix a lot of the world’s problems.
Tell us about your best holiday ever?
In 1980 we had a holiday in the UK and Europe. The highlight was attending the Centenary Test at Lords and seeing Kim Hughes score a ton.
What makes your day? Having a good night’s sleep.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself?
I think that as a rugby player, I peaked in the Under 10s.
