The UNE website notes that Rowan had ‘researched plant ecology in the Antarctic, been the Director of Steiglitz School Camp and taught at Lynall Hall Community School; both places pioneered changes in education. He has been a volunteer involved with emergency services for many years, starting with Search and Rescue in Victoria and later as an instructor/assessor in the NSW Rural Fire Service. A folklorist for much of his life he also has sung in the Opera House, played concertina and melodeon, and called bush dances around Australia and overseas’.
