Staff Profile - Bill Roberts

My name is Bill Roberts and my role at CRC for National Plant Biosecurity is Principal Scientist.

I am originally from Canberra but I did live in various Australian cities and overseas for almost 20 years before returning.

Living in Canberra is great – a very convenient city with plenty to do and great bike paths.

My favourite or ideal holiday destination is Italy because it is the perfect mix of chaos, culture, a relaxed approach to life and great food.

In my spare time, I enjoy bicycling and making things in metal and wood.

I am not a great movie fan so I don’t have a favourite.

At the moment I am reading the biography of Steve Jobs – what a bastard but he was brilliant!

If money was no option, I would promote world peace – well what else is there!

A quality I would most like to be remembered for is an ability to get along with everyone.
