hello and welcome...I’m a Sydney-based Australian writer who since the late 70s has built up a long list across (twelve) books, television, journalism, CD productions, all sorts of stuff, mainly on local music, popular culture and social history. This old-skool site is a guide through that stuff – a combination storefront/archive/journal/laboratory, with a NEWS feed as close as I get to despotic social media.

Have a look around, enjoy; link further to the standalone BURIED COUNTRY site too…
