"Denis Ronald Davey born: 3.6.1950 Tumby Bay South Australia, Australia.  My parents were William (Bill) and Beryl Davey who were farmers at Mt Hill in the Hundred of Butler.  I was educated first at the Mt Hill Rural School for 6 years, Kirton Point Primary School for one year, then two years at Port Lincoln High School.  Then I returned to Mt Hill to help on the farm and then also a property at Verran that was owned by my only brother Graeme.
Since both properties were sold during the recession Australia had to have in the late 1980s I have been a Supporting Parent Pensioner who is now a Disability Pensioner.  The after effects of both physical and mental trauma associated with the pressure of life in the Australian Rural Industries and then trying to adapt to Life Beyond the Farm Gate."
