His first published poem, written at age eighteen, was called Love is like a gobstopper. He left school in year 10. He studied poetry at university, and gained his B.A. from the University of Queensland in 1982. In 1984, he moved to Sydney and spent time performing his poems in the pubs and clubs of the inner-city, often as a support act for local bands.
