a guide book * a podcast * a tour


Informed by years on the road as a musician and documentary maker, this book is part memoir, road guide and a fascinating social history of Australia.  Written in an accessible style It is informed by wide ranging interviews from faded celebrities to jaded nobodies.  


With a successful pozible campaign and launch Guthugga Pipeline Press published 'Confessions of a Lighthouse Keeper’ back in 2020.  It's still going strong!  In this book Greg detailed his experience in an eighties Australian indie band.   But as he put the book together he realised he had much more in his old boxes.  Photos, pamphlets and artefacts from ancient road trips illustrate this present day safari.  If you enjoyed the first book, you'll love this one.  


Beginning with his misty hometown of Canberra in the seventies, the reader is taken on an Australian wide odyssey of change, cuisine, culture and whatever comes around the next bend. Eat well, Sleep well, and drive on.


Each chapter is a location on the journey and with recommendations for food, accomodation and interesting stuff.  There's also an eclectic range of characters that appear.
