A tonic for anyone who needs a lift.

Along the way he became a columnist and has written about politics, travel, food, motoring, life at large and worked as a foreign correspondent in Los Angeles, covering the Hollywood entertainment scene for News Limited's Australian newspapers. He continues to write about travel and cars as well as offering a view on life through his widely read 'Back Chat' column in The Courier Mail QWeekend Saturday magazine.
