A Quick Synopsis of Barrie’s Life
- a childhood spent in wartime Britain;
- a youth powerfully influenced by the liberal thought and intellect of Oxford;
- a sickness which has broadly restricted, and in a clear way, directed his life;
- 9-years building media experience in the Nuffield Organisation, (British Motor Corporation);
- a 5-month car journey from England to Australia;
- 6-years of public relations work for Archbishop George Appleton in the Diocese of Perth;
- 11-years working very closely with Bill Warnock (who’s personality made a profound influence on him);
- 9-years at manager level in media production for tertiary education;
- and above all, 35-years contributing whatever he had to building Men of the Trees.
