I’m a freelance journalist in Melbourne, Australia. I write about environmental, social and community issues. I am often inspired by the people I write about, so I hope you will be too.

I write a weekly column called Greener Homes in the Domain lift-out of the Sunday Age. I also write the Roving Eye section on photography in the Big Issue each fortnight. You can find most of my published articles on this website. 

For a sample of my longer articles, see this essay on the human side of climate change, published in the literary journal Meanjin, or this story about homelessness from the Big Issue. 

I've also been writing a blog, called Mike and the Bush Mechanics. It's about my quest to learn some practical skills, the people I meet trying, and the wisdom they impart.
