Gypsy. Effectively on the road from Kamberri (Canberra) since 18 March 2013, with a 2.5 year stop in Darwin (March 2019 to August 2021), just over a year in Fremantle, another 12 months plus in Adelaide, and now traipsing around New South Wales/ACT with a snug little temporary base. For now.

Recently in residence in Greater Sydney on the lands of the Dharug people, and I pay respect to the custodians past, present, emerging, and future. These are lands that are called ‘Australia’ and Terra Australis, a land of many nations, that were never ceded by the traditional owners.
