I'm a writer, bushwalking guide and storyteller. I often wave to animals when I see them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

#211: I was hungry and rushing back to the cabin from the lake. It was wombat country. I was with my mate Will. The sun was coming down. We realised how beautiful it was. We stopped, sat down in the grass. And Will asked: 'What's the best beer you've had this year?'

Teach, Learn, Share

The song of the eastern spinebill, wallaby rissoles, fire-pot, reading poetry and nature writing aloud.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an easy guest. Happy to social or solitary, usually carrying everything I need to sleep outside as well as inside.
