I was born in Melbourne and lived in Burwood till I was 10. Moved to Adelaide
where I completed high school and university. Completed PhD at University
College, London. Returned to Australia to a tutorship then postdoctoral
fellowship at University of Melbourne. Then I took a lectureship at James Cook
