Miles went to sea initially with the Booth Line as a cadet (trading in the West Indies and 2000 miles up the Amazon), then on tramp steamers around the globe. In 1971, He returned to Australia as a second officer and for ten years took up stevedoring in Papua New Guinea, followed by a four year stint in the Queensland Police Force. He then moved to the civil engineering construction industry and recently retired with his wife to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast after participating in many amazing Australian civil projects as a Contracts Manager.
