Hello fellow book nerds!

I’m visiting from the great southern land, from right up the top actually. I’ve been writing for a few years and my writing, like my life, is mostly concerned with the politics of our time, multiculturalism, travel and stupid adventures.
I currently work across urban and remote areas of the top end of Australia, supporting health outcomes within the extraordinary Aboriginal communities of the Northern Territory. When I’m not working, I’m camping under magnificent stars or throwing a line in and dodging crocs along our pristine waterways.

New to the online communities but would love to chat to fellow writers exploring political themes in their work, especially those in the YA space.

G'day Banjo :hi:

I'm in not so sunny (atm) but croc-free Vic.

Welcome to the board, Banjo. Your work sounds fascinating, and such awesome environment too!

I'm in the western suburbs of sunny Sydney.
