I was born on 27 January 1950 at the War Memorial Hospital in Bondi Junction in Sydney's eastern suburbs. My brother Michael was already seven and a half. We lived in a flat in Birriga Road, Bellevue Hill until I was one. Then we moved to our own house in Wilberforce Avenue, Rose Bay.

I was lucky enough to be able to go horse riding each Saturday in Centennial Park, Randwick from the age of eight until I was fifteen and we moved to Melbourne to live for a few years.

There's a housing estate there now! The open spaces have gone - that's progress.
