After three decades of teaching and educational administration Jack Hoadley retired from his position as Chief Planning Officer of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and offered consultancy services to Higher Educational Institutions. He enjoys caravanning, photography, bush walking, gardening, music and the arts, and the companionship of family and friends. He ponders his Christian faith and how to live justly and sustainably.
As part of his investigation of his father’s life, Jack, with his partner, Ruth, visited Antarctica to see Mawson’s hut that his father had helped construct in 1912.
