G’day, and welcome to my
user page
.
My
nom de plume
is
Grogan deYobbo
. I chose
Grogan
as it vaguely resembles my real name, and coined
deYobbo
as an amusing and intriguing dichotomy of aristocratic elegance and
loutish hooliganism
.
About me
[
edit
]
I am an Australian (as you will have discerned from my accent) living in the city of
Wollongong
, about 80
km
(50
mi
) south of
Sydney
. Wollongong is also something of a dichotomy: it is noted for its steelworks, coal mines and industrial port; yet also features a mild temperate climate, numerous fine sandy beaches and the magnificent
Illawarra Escarpment
as a backdrop.
Contributions
[
edit

Not surprisingly my main area of interest is Wollongong and
all things Wollongong related
. I continue to contribute to the main
Wollongong
article when I can, and also many local suburb, school, landmark and feature articles.
I do contribute narrative, but I have to say that wordsmithing is not my strength. Much of my effort is adding and completing infoboxes, reverting vandalism and generally tidying and improving existing articles. I have also created the odd category and navigation template, a userbox and uploaded a couple of my own photographs to
Commons
.
A long-term goal is to get
Wollongong
to ‘’
Good Article
’’ status.
In the meantime I enjoy poking around in Wikipedia wherever and whenever takes my fancy.
