Early Years

Carey played rugby league as a junior but began playing Australian Football at age eight and, in his early teens, moved to Adelaide, where he attended The Heights School, Modbury Heights and continued playing junior football for North Adelaide.

Famous quotes related to early years:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
