BackgroundBen
Carey Was Born in Gosford of Australia on the 3rd of October 1987,
his parents are Heather Carey and Maurice Heke. His heritage is 1/4
Australian, 1/4 New Zealander, 1/4 Mauri and 1/4 German. When he
was 3 weeks old his mother Heather Carey moved to New Zealand and
they stayed there with his grand parents one the island Waiheke for
several months before moving back to Australia, this time in sunny
state of Queensland. He and his mother lived in maroochydore with
his grandparents again who has now vacated New Zealand for the
moment to support his mother.
By the age of 4 they moved into the
suburb of Mooloolaba, during this time, heather did some
horticultural courses and Ben was forced to skip Pre-school which
later caused him to have to repeat grade 1.
At about age 7 they
moved to the suburb of Maleny, throughout the past 11 years they
have moved between places in Maleny many times... Including
Beachwood Road, Tamarind Street, Grandview Drive, Currawong Drive,
Wells Road and once again Tamarind Street.
Ben attended the river
school (a private school hidden away in Maleny) and made several
friends which he still keeps now at 18. Ariel Westcott was one of
his first friends, and she now lives 3 doors up from his current
residence, Tom Baby, his Best friend for many years and still a
very good friend, Aazan Bower, one of his best friends still
despite the fact Aazan was 2 years younger than him and Jasper
Cairns who is now residing in Brisbane, he sees him sometimes, but
not as much as he would like.
Before the river school he went to
Conondale Primary school, which is where he met Tom Braby and
they've been friends ever since... when they moved from near
conondale Ben had to change school, and because he didn't do
Pre-school they found it fitting to make him repeat grade 1 in
Maleny State Primary School... after this he was enrolled at the
river school, one of the best things that has happened to him...
they soon realised his intellect and raised him a year level... and
also he was now re-associated with his friends...
Ben's Main
acquaintances these days are Aazan, Tim Allen and Marnie Lamprecht,
Tim is undoubtedly Ben's best friend, they have a very similar
sense of humor and are always seen hanging out. Tim is known for
his crazy sense of humor, keeping it real and of course his
spontaneity.
Ben is currently studying an I.T course via
distance education as he didn't want to go straight to uni after 12
years of school; he is highly considering moving to Brisbane next
year with Tim and Marnie and going to TAFE to further study
I.T...
His granparents are back in New Zealand again now, he has
visited them pretty much every christmas since he was 7, with the
exception of 2004 when he went to Woodford Folk Festival. Early
this year... in April him and Heather went to New Zealand as a
surprise for his grandma's 70th birthday... they stayed their for 2
weeks before returning home to australia.
