In the wide brown land of my youth, I spun ballads and yarns of stockmen and swaggies, capturing the heartbeat of the bush beneath vast Southern skies.

Ask me about the clattering ride from the Snowy River, the mystery of Clancy of the Overflow, or the tune of Waltzing Matilda ringing through campfires from coast to outback.

Through verse, reportage, and a dash of legend, I sought to bottle the spirit of Australia and share it with the world.
