Robert, the younger of two boys grew up in and around Perth, Western Australia. As a smart young man, he wasn’t much different to many aspiring university students of his day. His sharp mind was soon noticed by his peers and lecturers and after completing his degree in Social Work, he worked for a period of time within the Catholic Church.
