Hello. Here’s a collection of some of what I’ve done…
Much of what I’ve accomplished has been down to pure chance…
1972 Adelaide :
Candidate in State election
Susie Creamcheese was a bolt out of the blue.
Susie’s Happy Birthday Party was the culmination of an unusual protest in Unley. Several local activists complained about the quality of candidates and nominated the unusually named candidate Susie Creamcheese.
But who was Susie Creamcheese? How to vote cards held in the State Library of South Australia’s collection tell us that Creamcheese was a candidate who promised ‘…erotic playfulness, fun and enjoyment, levity instead of gravity. [My] policy is to assert the existence of reality’[1].
A photograph found in the University of Adelaide archives reveals Creamcheese dressed in cream slacks, black tie, metallic paisley blazer and glittered top hap with luscious wild curly hair flowing out from under it.
Creamcheese was in fact Paul Paech, a student from the University of Adelaide, an On Dit student magazine editor, and social activist who changed his name for the purpose of the election.

At the Macquarie Street end of Sydney’s Hunter Street, I lived in the top floor apartment in this belle epoque Venetian bank building, alas now demolished…
In Sydney’s astounding Bondi Beach, I am fortunate to live in a generous space that I’ve designed and created, and that allows me to live the way I like.
My home here is spread across the former roof space of a 4-apartment block in one of Bondi’s best avenues it’s just 250m from the ocean.
A massive open living space with two terraces, two bathrooms with two bedrooms downstairs, this is the kind of home that you see in real estate magazines, but believe me, it’s all modest with a sense of humour, and has none of the pretentions.
In Paris, this is the view across the chimney pots and zinc roofs of my pied-a-terre in the chic Marais area, just a block from the Centre Pompidou.
