My Latest Adventure
What better way to teach children about how a story is structured than to get them calling out ideas while a bunch of talented performers turn those ideas into reality. Three actors, a musician, and an illustrator improvising together. That's StorySnorts, a new show of which I'm the Executive Producer with my daughter, Jemma. We'll be in schools across Adelaide throughout 2024 so keep an eye out.

Little Baby Dragonfly
By popular request, you can download the lyrics for Little Baby Dragonfly from the document to the right. I've used the word Yureidla in the first verse, which I understand to be the word meaning Mount Lofty, used by the Peramangk people who were the traditional owners of the Adelaide Hills.
Verse 1
Gliding 'cross the water of Yureidla Springs
A little baby dragonfly was stretching his wings
Looked high above to see a grey bird coming down
Little baby dragonfly started spinning around
