In 1979 he went to the Gold Coast League and lived at Byron Bay while playing football, again with Peter Growney, who was coach of the team. It was Barry's wife Sue, then his girl- friend, who lured him back to the area. The union was to prove an added bonus for Queenscliff with the birth of three sons - Andrew, Nick and Luke. On his return to Queenscliff he became a self employed landscape gardener for twenty five years, and then six years ago returned to green- keeping. After spending time away from football it was his boys' involvement with Auskick followed by junior football that brought Barry back into the fold. "Andrew was the first to play in the U/10s and Sam Wayth also played in that team. I became involved because they needed to play in competitive sides, not being well beaten all the time and I wanted to try and help out.
