He lived in Orchard Hills near Penrith, in the Western Sydney area, before moving to Forbes in the Central West, New South Wales. He was married in 1976 to Heather Read, and then they moved to Coffs Harbour. Terry initially became a research officer with the Forestry Commission of New South Wales. Later, he was an ecologist for many years with the Forestry Commission. Eventually, later in life, he decided to study further and became a forester. He graduated in three different courses, associate diploma in land management, diploma in forestry, and bachelor of applied science in natural resource management. After graduating, he was transferred to Batemans Bay as a planning forester and later to Tumbarumba as an operations forester.
Terry has written or coauthored five scientific papers about the flora and fauna of the North Coast, New South Wales. Terry and Heather have a family of three children and eight grandchildren. They have now retired to Coffs Harbour. Terry Tweedie comes from a long line of journalists in his family. His great-grandfather established the Bombala Times, and his grandfather had the Delegate Argus and Hornsby Star Newspapers in the 1800s and early 1900s. This is the first book he has written, and it is about his father’s life story but, more importantly, about when his father went off to war in 1941 to Malaya and was captured and served as a prisoner of war on the Burma/Siam Railway. In addition, he is currently writing up the Tweedie family history and will be publishing this in the near future.ver menos
