WAY TO UNWIND: Cowdery’s wife Joy says his “face changes” on the water.<br />
international project – among<br />
many, The Bahamas, Maldives,<br />
Fiji, Mauritius and Uganda.<br />
Cowdery also regards<br />
<strong>Pittwater</strong> as an exotic<br />
destination – a paradise<br />
that is grappling with<br />
more development, more<br />
traffic, a greater demand<br />
for parking and increasing<br />
boat usage flowing from a<br />
bigger population. A strong<br />
supporter of local Council deamalgamation,<br />
he considers<br />
the establishment of Northern<br />
Beaches Council has resulted<br />
in a decline in services for the<br />
previous <strong>Pittwater</strong> Council<br />
area.<br />
University lecturing, writing<br />
books on criminal justice<br />
and speaking to Probus clubs<br />
and U3As on crime and its<br />
treatment in NSW as well as<br />
current hot news and current<br />
affairs topics are some of the<br />
things Cowdery now focuses<br />
on.<br />
“Every day is a busy day; got<br />
to keep busy,” he says.<br />
