He has worked as set designer, artistic director, graphic designer, storyboard artist, director and producer. We can see his name credited on over a hundred shows on Australian networks such as Ten, Nine, Seven and Sky Networks, as well as NBC, CBS, ABC and Hanna Barbara in the US, and CBC, CTV in Canada, and NZBC in New Zealand. These days, his focus is on writing. Just like Didier Daeninckx, he uses police intrigue as a backdrop to social and historical realism. His frank writing highlights the slow and difficult and social ascension of Aboriginals in an ambivalent Australian society. His books, more than a long discussion, reveal the richness, the wisdom, humour and humanity of his people. He is the author of six novels, three of which have been translated into French. “There’ll be new dreams” (“Nouveaux Rêves”, édition Le Fil Invisible), “Scream Black Murder” (“Tueur d’Aborigènes”, édition Gallimard) and “Murder in Utopia” (“Utopia”, édition Traversées).
