About Henk Emans

I grew up in

The Blue Mountains where I spent most of my primary years, although I was born a war baby in Bondi. Secondary school was started in Geelong and finished in several schools around Amsterdam. At 21 years of age I returned to Australia by myself.

Crazy stuff I’ve done

Taxi driving to get through uni
Cycling around Europe
Having a shark on a line in Cape York
Working as a builders labourer

To have fun I

Relax by walking, reading, playing bridge or travelling.

I love Cronulla because

It keeps me close to the sea. The air is fresher, the Mall is unique and draws people to it like bees to a honey pot. There is never a dull moment in out patch.
