hello and welcome...

I’m a Sydney-based Australian writer who since the late 70s has built up a long list across (ten) books, television, journalism, CD productions, all sorts of stuff, mainly on local music, popular culture and social history. This site is a guide through that stuff – a combination Archive/Store/Diary/Laboratory – with NEWS pages as close as it gets to social media. I guess I've always had to think of myself as a bit of an outlier, but lately I've even been a bit controversial too! Have a look around; link further to the new standalone buriedcountry.com.au site too...

News 

JUNE 27: In the wake of the Deadly Woman Blues debacle, if I’ve done the crime I’ve done the time, and now I have (to be allowed) to move on. Firstly, I'm delighted to announce that the Buried Country roadshow is now confirmed to play opening night at the Darwin Festival in August, and secondly, that the Buried Country vinyl LP is finally out through Mississippi/Flippin’ Yeah Records. Later in the year, my eleventh book The Suburban Songlines will be published by Starman, as you can see here. Read more about all this and more NEWS here.
