I am the eldest son of Richard and Heather Brook, who took the challenge to migrate from Bristol England to Western Australia on board the Castel Felice in search of a better life for my brother and I. My father pasted away on 4 April 2019 after successfully achieving his goal and my brother and I will be eternally grateful the him and my mother. We have both made an amazing life here, we were lucky enough to have had a sister join our family, the first Aussie to the brook clan, and now boast an additional 18 Aussie members from Mum and Dad, living across Australia. I currently live in Qld half way between the Gold Coast and Brisbane with my wife Julia. I work in tourism and have done since leaving school. I have had an exceptionally fortune life and thank Australia and all those that came before Mum and Dad and all those since for making this country what it is today. 55 years later and still the land of opportunity.
