Bio

When I was a kid, I fell in love with a TV show called The Flying Doctors. I promised myself I'd one day go backpack around the Outback and see where the show was filmed. Straight after finishing Uni in '99 I finally got to live the dream. I love TV shows which draw you into the characters - characters with flaws but you still love them. Lately I've been a little obsessed with Grey's Anatomy and discovering all the music on the show.
