He lived for a spell near Melbourne town,
till a Saturday bushfire burned his home down;
then what had been an itinerant centre stay
became a permanent home for wandering, work, rest, and play.
And now this ex-chalkie, he camps and he writes and he talks
in cafes and markets and street corner walks,
of life in the bush and life behind doors
to help us see truth, our land, and ourselves.view less
