My Musings & Inspiration
You Can’t Hide in the Desert
Dealing with Fringe uncertainty
Acknowledgement
I live by the beach on Kaurna land. I moved here from Port Pirie on Nukunu country when I came to university.For many years I was fuelled by a great desire to travel around the world. Like many young people of my generation, I left Adelaide with my partner and went backpacking, finally landing in Aotearoa (New Zealand) where we lived for five years. We took another backpacking trip before returning to Adelaide where our children were born. Then, in 2009, we all moved to Abu Dhabi.
Button TextButton TextAt the 2025 Adelaide Fringe, I'm doing a few nights each of all six of my solo shows.
See the ones you've missed! Catch your favourites again! Tell your friends!
