Eco Tale

I'm currently writing a series of eco tales -- a form of wonder tales that include elements of the challenges of the Anthropocene -- with a quests of sometimes epic proportions for our times that must find its folk heroes. They are set in specific places and imagine non-human animal perspectives.


'A tale from the cabbage tree forest (Figtree)' is the first in the series. It follows 
a Yellow-spotted tree frog on her almost impossible journey to a new place she 
can call home, after her habitat has been destroyed to make way for one of the 
first streets leading to the Illawarra.

Poetry and creative non-fiction (anthologies)



The South Coast Writers Centre, in collaboration with the Black Wallaby 
Writers and the Junee Correctional Centre, has conducted workshops 
with indigenous inmates since 2012. Over seven volumes to date, the 
Dreaming Inside project showcases a large collection of Aboriginal
inmate writing, allowing insights into the writers' dreams, songs and 
reflections. Black Wallaby tutors and guest tutors accompany the inmates 
with poems and writings that shed further light on Aboriginal experiences. 
I have been fortunate enough to have been involved with the Dreaming Inside 
project as a workshop facilitator, tutor, publicist, publisher and contributor for 
the first seven years of its running.
