such seminal TV
shows as Homicide and Division 4 for Crawford Productions, was central in establishing film courses and departments in places
such as Canberra and Brisbane (Griffith University), wrote plays and performed poems at Melbourne University and La Mama in the 1960s, directed feature films in the early 1980s (most memorably Ginger Meggs in 1982), made documentaries for the ABC and SBS (The Myth Makers, Images of Australia, The Legend of Fred Paterson, and numerous others), wrote and edited
such books as Screenwriting: A Manual and Queensland Images in Film and Television, helmed commercials for a
vast array of companies and government bodies, contributed film reviews to ABC radio (and more occasionally TV) across various states (for almost 40 years), wrote for numerous publications including Overland, The Canberra Times, Metro, The Concise Encyclopedia of Documentary Film, The Hobart Mercury, and so much more.
The
vast array of new performance cars from
such a diverse selection of manufacturers is what makes the Geneva one of the most exciting motor
shows of the year and most relevant to us.
