WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN & WHY?

In case you were wondering what the answers to these five questions would be... well... here you go!

WHO?

My name is Anne Ramsden, though I am often called Annabella. I'm an Aussie, married to an Englishman, and we have lived in Rockingham since 1976. We have a daughter, a son, and two cocker spaniels.

This is my own personal project. I am not affiliated with the Rockingham City Council, the Rockingham Visitors Centre or any of the businesses listed on these pages.

I am not employed in the tourism industry, nor am I a computer specialist. I am a medical scientist and work in a major hospital in Perth.

WHAT?

The purpose of this website is simply to provide helpful information - to people thinking of holidaying in Rockingham or moving into the area, and even to local residents!

It's main direction is the provision of tourism related information, but I have also decided to include a community section which provides free webpages for local clubs, community groups and non-profit organisations.

WHERE?

This site is for Rockingham information only. I wanted to create a web presence that was specifically confined to the areas covered by the City of Rockingham only.

WHEN?

This site began in January 1997.

WHY?

Because when I first connected to the internet in 1996, I could not find any information about Rockingham. So, I decided to put some out there!

I had just begun my journey into the world of webpage writing. I wanted to make a webpage, but realised that I did not know what I wanted to tell the world. Rockingham seemed the logical place to start!

Since then, I have also created several other websites - almost all of them providing free information, help, advice or instruction. Why? Because it pleases me to do so. I like to help folks out where I can.
