Welcome to the mosh-pit of social media where I share the wonders of life as a senior citizen. I am based in Meanjin, the traditional name of the city of Brisbane in Queensland Australia.

I wish to begin my profile by acknowledging the Turrbal and Yuggera peoples traditional custodians , on whose land I walk,work live and travel . I pay respect to their Elders past, and present recognising their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community.

I also acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I was born in Geelong, the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation.

For those who are text challenged I have published a Digital Biography

I have collected all sorts of qualifications, certificates and other amazing pieces of recognition that you will find here.

I describe myself as a Community Jester. This means I live my life as a social and public response to injustice and exploitation. My passion for justice was nurtured by my father’s work with street people in the St Vincent de Paul Society and my life experience as a gay man.

I’m a guitarist / singer who loves music about people and social issues. To celebrate my 71st Year I have published my Songs of a Lifetime.

I have danced in Ashby Hall and , the Palais Theatre Geelong, the streets in Manila, Story Hall in Melbourne, remote villages in PNG, the Opera House on New Year’s Eve, naked at RAW in Caboolture in 2005.

I write everything from web pages through to media releases. I have become an expert at writing online profiles and have an ability to create interesting typos.

I prefer to wear t/shirts with a message and buy clothes from local African and Indigenous communities. And yes, I do own a set of “tails” for very formal events like royal weddings and papal visits.
