Our Bloke – Damian Walsh

March 3, 2023 by Roxane Manley

Damian Walsh

Where were you born? Parkes, New South Wales.

Were you named after anyone? No. However it’s a pretty awesome name hey!

Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of? The only accomplishment I’m proud of is being such an awesome person, 365 days per year.

What historical moment stands out most in your memory? I’d have to say, living through two flood events, which were both one in 100 year floods, was the biggest historical moment I’ve ever come across. However, Messi winning the world cup last year was pretty big too.

What’s the single best piece of advice you’ve ever received? Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain.

What’s the greatest risk you’ve ever taken? I don’t take risks, Risks are risky.

What are the three things you would take to a deserted island? A fishing rod, camping chair and an esky.

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? Well, Blue Sky would see a decent chunk of that.. but I’d probably buy the missus something nice too.

When are you happiest? When I’m with my kids.
