G’day and welcome to My Fire.
I was raised on a small sheep and wheat farm at Barkly, in the Wimmera District of Victoria before moving to Geelong to live and work.

Over the last fifteen years my partner Jenny and I have travelled extensively throughout Outback Australia, where I have worked as a tour guide in such iconic places as Uluru, Kakadu, The Gulf of Carpentaria and The Kimberley.

I have been writing and performing my bush poetry since the mid 1990s, gaining my inspirations from those innocent days growing up on the farm, as well as the sights I have seen, the places I have visited and the fascinating people I have met during my travels around Australia.

In my poetry I strive to capture the colours, the humour, the hardships and the spirit of Australia in a style that saw me win the prestigious ‘Golden Damper Award’ at the 2009 Tamworth Bush Poetry Competition.

These days I enjoy travelling around this beautiful country promoting my poetry and performing at festivals, functions and events. I have recorded three CDs and published a book of my poetry.

Live performances at Barkly Hall
