Wayne Maynard aged 58 years lives in Launceston Tasmania, two doors down from this photo location in Waverley. He is currently working on a casual basis in the private Fishery Industry. Wayne has worked as a qualified Land Management Ranger in the Bass Strait Islands which includes Cape Barren Island. He has a certificate III and a Diploma in Land Management. He is also has a Diploma of Cultural Resource Management from the Koori education centre Deakin University in Melbourne. Wayne including the other Brothers of Ross, Ricky, Gregory and Glenn remember this place of No.2 Carlisle St, Grandad Sydney and Grandmother Caroline's little home. An area the boys remember well of many stories told on this very footstep by Grandad. Nan and Pop left Cape Barren Island after World War I. It not only provided an opportunity for more work when he was able, but he also needed to be closer to medical treatment because of his war injuries.
