One of two TV commercials I filmed as a kid in Brisbane in the 80s. Just uploaded. I don't think I've ever seen this before. Can you spot me? Follow your nose! youtu.be/ZUj4aL_FZfo?...

The first Darwin story that I’ve noticed on the new Nine News Qld / NT bulletin. I’m happy to see Darwin yarns if they’re now getting a Brisbane bulletin.

I seem to be enjoying being back at the ABC. Was one of @kellyhd.bsky.social’s “Reckoners” tonight, alongside Dr Toni Johnson-Woods. Pic 2: Toni’s “Big Bother” (2002) which, as mentioned, always survives my book culls.
