Noel Francis Downs

Noel was born in East Fremantle in Western Australia in 1964. Prior to 1997, most of his life was spent on the move. He served in the Army for thirteen years, worked as a stockman, farm labourer, horse breaker, computer programmer, I.T. manager and most recently office manager for an Aboriginal Land Council. He has seen a lot of Australia and finally settled in a place that feels like home, where he and his wife Christine breed Arabian horses.

He writes ballads and songs, plays guitar, and makes a nice drop of bourbon, along with several honey and fruit based liqueurs.
