Born in 1952, Kim Peart was raised in Tasmania, where he trained as a visual artist, and launched a Viking Society in 1975 — became a life-long space advocate in 1976.
He subsequently became an urban environmental activist, gaining an entry into Tasmania's top 200 movers and shakers, at number 123, in 2007.
Kim now lives in Mountain Creek, Queensland, where he pursues visual art, research, writing and is pursuing a presence in the virtual worlds of Second Life and InWorldz — with art galleries and exhibitions for space development; Earth care and Earth survival; Viking history and culture; West Papuan self-determination and Australian independence.
