Who is, what?
What would you do differently to what you do now?
I’d like to have a side hustle as a wealthy philanthropist to support independent artists and environmental and humanitarian causes.

Acknowledge past and current injustices, eliminate plastics, support renewables, and put more women in charge.
Favourite holiday destination and why?
Apollo Bay for its forests, beaches and fish and chips.

The Victoria Market for its boreks, donuts, atmosphere and energy.

The Masters Tools Will Never Dismantle the Masters House by Audre Lorde.
What are you currently listening to?
The Luke Howard Trio.
Happiness is?
Happiness hides behind its own name.

Death, but until then I’ll try and make myself useful, enjoy people, art and nature.
