I began my actor training at age 17 on Noongar boodjar in Perth, Western Australia.

Hoped to work on an American series some day.

That day came 24 years later!

Playing Piper in #Irreverent is an absolute dream come true!

The pathway to dream roles are seldom direct and far from easy yet inevitably absolutely worth it.

The show is produced by Tom Hoffie and Matchbox Pictures Pty Ltd, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.

The series, which consists of ten 60-minute episodes, is a co-production between Peacock and Netflix Australia.

I am so excited for my family - biggest supporters since the beginning - to watch this series on @netflixanz and have a glimpse into the world of Clump and the beautiful setting we were in on stunning Djiru country in Far North Queensland.

This actor-life experience working with a phenomenal team of talented Australian (predominantly) and American artists is unforgettable for all the right reasons. YAY!

Rehearsals. Tech. Early 2011. Jack Charles v The Crown.

Jack Charles co-founded the first black (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) theatre in Australia in 1971 with Bob Maza. Pair of absolute legends!

Spending quality time in this theatre (specifically @belvoirst) shadowing @rachaelzmaza directing uncle Jack (and the three-piece band) in his one man show was a precious gift and incredibly inspirational on multiple levels. Many laughs were had. Lots of love, courage, joy, healing, generosity and care filled that space. The depth of experience in the room was amazing to swim in. I learned a great deal from Rachael and uncle in this safe space and loved hearing uncle Jack share his story in the unique way that only he could.

‘He was a class act’ - Rachael Maza, daughter of Bob Maza.

Vale (Boorda) uncle Jack Charles… see you by and by, ya special soul 💫 ❤️

Uncle Archie, everyone called you uncle to be resp

Uncle Archie, everyone called you uncle to be respectful. Me included.

I feel so lucky to have shared a few moments with you and your family in this lifetime – what a gift.

The interview I conducted for Clint’s program at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The wonderful memory of singing in your Perth choir alongside my sister and choir leader Ms Della Morrison for, arguably one of your best albums ever, Into the Bloodstream. Having you come into World Radio in Maylands that time, to be interviewed on my program Whadjuk Radio. You didn’t have a guitar but luckily I had mine with me, and when I lifted it out of the case you said ‘this is my guitar, I have the exact same Maton at home, same make and model, yeah’ then you strummed it warm and made melodic magic. I didn’t realise how special it was at the time to have you play live on my radio show directly across that desk. I was in my mid-twenties and in survival mode, new to anchoring a community radio program and diligently watching cues. When David Wirrpanda brought you across for his foundation dinner, I had the absolute honour of introducing you to the stage and this time I truly absorbed the honour. The dinner moment that struck me deepest was when, while everyone else mingled and drank their drinks, you grabbed a chair to sit and listen to Clint play. You asked about that hollowed-out guitar body and yarned about music, of course. That meant a lot to him.

Then there was the year you received the Australia Council’s ATSIAB Red Ochre award, and I was honoured to receive the Fellowship on the very same night. What a healing night that was and a wonderful dinner together afterwards with some amazing artists, artworkers and industry legends.

Precious memories.

Boorda, kongk, Gunditjmara (Kirrae Whurrong/Djab Wurrung), Bundjalung Senior Elder, songman and storyteller. Reunited with your soulmate and family now. May the love and healing continue. Thank you for your advocacy and all you so lovingly gave to every blackfulla across this nation and the world. You’re quite simply irreplaceable. RIP.
