Guy Murphy′s long-standing interest in Mars was initially fired by reading science fiction, and the Mars Pathfinder landing in 1998. A co-founder of the Mars Society Australia, he has participated in scientific expeditions to Mars-like environments in outback South Australia and spoken at Mars conferences in Australia, Europe and North America. A graduate of the University of Melbourne, he works as a heritage consultant. His interests in Australian history and Mars share the themes of frontier exploration and human settlement. The various spiritual titles that are listed on my profile were written by another Guy Murphy. (Murphy's are a prolific lot!)
