🚨 New @newwritersfest podcast! 🎧 Link in bio.
Markus Zusak can clearly write an extraordinary story on paper, but he’s an excellent oral storyteller too!
I had the honour of speaking with him about his new memoir, Three Wild Dogs and the Truth. 🐕

I was today years old when I learned that staplers come with a compartment for spare staples! 🤯
How did I not know this?!
@jen_marchant said: “Check the under carriage for spares.”
What under carriage? What spares?!
She was the only person in the building that knew about it.

Another massive signal outage for the Sydney and NSW train network. 😞
This happened only a few weeks ago.
The driver of the train I’m on (Central Coast/Newcastle line) has changed ends and we’ve just started reversing.
So unreliable, @TransportforNSW!
What a gorgeous cow, Capt Cow! 🐮 Thanks for asking Red Velvet to be part of our “Premier Pet Predictions”!
She clearly loves a pat and looks very happy in #Vacy.

.@liormusic performing his songs with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the new @sydneyoperahouse concert hall was very special.
It’s easily one of the best things I’ve seen live. 🎶
And hearing Lior sing in Hebrew for “Compassion” arranged by Nigel Westlake is out of this world.

So Mums oncologist heard this interview and at todays appt asked me about it and what they could do differently in the future to help! He admitted he had never thought of these things before, but had assumed someone else was explaining those things. @CoxDan - amazing!
I’ve done a million radio interviews about my research and even some about @NewcastleJetsFC but this morning @CoxDan invited me to talk about this and my journey with Mums illness on ABC Newcastle. It was definitely harder but I was glad for the opportunity.
