Hi and welcome to my little web page ~ I’m just another person on this planet trying to figure it all out!
Here’s a few things that I’ve done, and some things that are on this site.
Bird Bites is a social media channel I started all about the wonderful world of birds. It consists of a Youtube channel, Facebook group, Instagram account and Blog.
I also used to do a regular series of appearances on ABC Southern Queensland Radio about birds, and founded the Darling Downs local branch of Birdlife.
As a writer I have written three novels, six stage plays and three feature films. Click here for my Amazon Author page and here is my Goodreads page.
As a film maker I have directed five feature length films and a number of short films. I am currently working on a documentary about Australian birds. Click for here my youtube channel with some of my video work on it, and here for my IMDB profile.
I also record and performs sketch comedy, along with Matt Bell, as the Smooth End of the Pineapple. We have toured central Queensland and performed at a number of festivals in South East Queensland. Our sketches are available to enjoy in podcast on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Podcasts, Podbean, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio and Podchaser.
I also have another podcast called Gymea which is all about love, relationships, metaphysics, morals and just being a human being. In this podcast I read and discuss some of my poetry and I plan on expanding it to other poetry – especially metaphysical poetry from the middle ages. You can listen to it on Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Player FM, Podchaser and Boomplay.
I also enjoy cycle touring and have written up a few accounts here.
My family have a long history in Toowoomba, some of which is recorded in the historical photos on the McPhie Family Archive blog.
In my spare time I enjoy playing guitar, and watching cricket, rugby union and movies with dinosaurs in them!
