Darryl Dymock

Dr Darryl Dymock works part-time as a senior researcher at Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia, and has a special interest in adult learning and development and the abilities of older workers. Already a well-published author in his field, as a mature-age worker he gave up full-time employment to spend more time on writing narrative non-fiction and short stories.

Darryl is convinced from his long experience in educating adults that you can teach an old dog new tricks, so long as the animal in question wants to learn. He has four grown-up children and lives in Brisbane with his wife and his laptop. So far he has had eleven different jobs, including clerk, taxi driver, high school teacher, soldier and university lecturer, and has lived in three Australian states, England and Papua New Guinea. He has no intention of retiring.
