I was born in
Umtali, Rhodesia in 1957, but spent most of my childhood years, growing up with
my sister,
Jenny, in the
beautiful Melsetter district
where my dad,
Dave Gibson, was a
forester and my mum,
Wendy,
was a much
loved and active member of the community.
Sadly, Dad passed away on 2
January 2000, but I am sure he is looking down on those cool shady pine forests
and wide open spaces with the same nostalgia and gratitude for the wonderful
lifestyle we all enjoyed in Melsetter.

I was inspired to create this
Web Page after receiving a lovely email
(see
The Sleeping Giant)
from
Jan van der Walt reminiscing about
his days in Melsetter.
