About the Author
Dennis Bills is a thoroughly charming Aussie bloke whose passion for today’s youth is both remarkable and infectious.He says ‘It's all about keeping an open mind and open heart as to what they are thinking and what they are experiencing."
Born in 1963 in the small timber town of Orbost in far-east Victoria, Dennis Bills is one of eleven children. Dennis paid his own way through teacher’s college and began his working life in 1985 as a high school PE teacher in the Wimmera-Mallee, Victoria.
In 1994 Dennis left teaching and he and Jodee bought a school camp business on the edge of the Gippsland Lakes. He employed several school leavers, and hosted some of his ex-students in work experience placements at the camp. In conversations with them he began to realise that they were experiencing the same difficulties he had as a school leaver.
