I thought it was about time I updated my headshot 📸 and where better than the amazing Pilliga Sandstone Caves!
Big thanks to Ryan Kincaid for taking it ☺️

Testing out my new art book with a graphite drawing of a banksia seed pod.
The lovely ladies of the upper Hunter teachers association gifted me this beautiful sketch book the other week.
It was nice to get some drawing done again before I start the next book!
Some powerful insights into some of the special animals from my new extinct book.
Swipe across and have a read.
I missed posting about #loveyourbookshopday yesterday, but shout out to the many, many fabulous bookstores who really do an incredible job for readers across the globe.
I really couldn’t have done it without them.
Today was filled with book signings across North Sydney (BookFace St Ives, Harry Hartog Macquarie Park and BookFace Northbridge) and a fun workshop at Manly Library ☺️
BookFace at St Ives even let me do a portrait of the beautiful dodo 🦤 what do you think?
Turn your TVs on at around 10/10:15am tomorrow to channel 7 to see me on The Morning Show chatting all things extinct with Larry and Kylie! 🤩
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Julian Morrow about my new book for the ABC Sunday Extra program @RadioNational
We chatted about the fascinating extinct and critically endangered animals of the natural world, including one of my favourites... the Assassin Spider!
I highly recommend you go and have a listen: abc.net.au/listen/programs/s…
