Life on the road documenting the fascinating stories of Australian circus life
Welcome
The Circus Diaries is a wonderful oral history and photographic project documenting traditional Australian circus life from the 1920's to the present. Over the past three years I have travelled through much of Australia interviewing and photographing circus elders and families, and living with traditional circuses.

I am a playwright/director/author in Australia. In my trusty campervan I travel the highways and byways to notate the fascinating stories of Australian circus families. I have been writing, directing and touring live shows in and out of Australia for nearly 30 years (eek!). I have published one book - Rodeo Girls Go Round the Outside (Penguin) - about the women who ride high on the Australian rodeo and country music charts. I love new challenges, and spending time with different communities on the road.
