Peter Low, General Member

Peter is the Z-NET Uralla technology guru, ready to answer the myriad of questions the community has on solar feed-in tariffs, the merits of different heating options, and how to see if your home is leaking valuable warmth (that you are paying good money for). Peter is finding Z-NET Uralla a great challenge in retirement, after a long career as a ship’s captain in the merchant navy.

Tim Wright, General Member

Living in New England, NSW, I studied Ag Economics at University of New England in 1972 before
enrolling at Orange Agricultural College 1973-1975 – graduating as one of OAC’s first students’ in
Farm Management. Pioneering new concepts from then till now is my legacy because I was taught
to question, and to reason why? Perseverance is at the heart of my goals, and I have a strong belief in working with nature.
