WALLY FAQS
Learn more about Wally
IS WALLY HIS REAL NAME?
No, Wally came from a game the members of the group used to play where Wally would take a photo and everyone would guess where it was taken. It became known as Where's Wally and thus the name stuck.

WHERE DOES WALLY HAVE COFFEE?
I like to support many coffee shops, but I do live right near Tobruk Cafe, and they know me well.
WHY DOES WALLY LOVE THE WEATHER?
When I was at school, we had a subject called aviation studies. One of the major aspects of that subject was meteorology. While I will never be a pilot, I will forever have my head in the cloud.
WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES WALLY BRING?
I have often asked myself why this group became popular. I was only just making observations and talking about what I thought they meant. But it was explained to me that it's the way I explain things, and the years of experience is why people are drawn to the community. I make sure my knowledge is up to date by completing training and meeting with meteorologists. I worked in Climate Change at JCU, and while that is not the same as weather, it gave me a unique perspective on research into what ultimately determines our weather.
