    Leigh grew up right by the edge of the river, and the farther he travels on it, the more it feels like home

  29. Day 1 (2022) - Heads

    Australia is a very different place from the one I came back to when I produced my first series of stories a year ago. But one thing, at least, will be the same—the person I talk to as I embark on another 14 Days.

  30. Day 14 (2021) - Futures

    I hear from those who spoke before about what lies ahead.

    It’s down to four teams for my AFL pick. As I watch their games and try to find something to latch on to, however, a familiar foe appears.

  35. Day 9 (2021) - Picking My Own Tragedy, pt 1

    As I see the end in the distance, it’s time to look beyond. It’s also time to make some very important Melburnian decisions.

  36. Day 8 (2021) - Sounds of Quarantine

    Things are getting a little loopy… so why not lean into it? I set myself a musical challenge and spend a whole day making all kinds of fun noise.

  37. Day 7 (2021) - Hypnagogia

    In which I wonder if Aphex Twin and Vladimir Nabokov were correct.

  38. Day 6 (2021) - Cope

    It’s hard not to get stuck in a loop in quarantine. I talk to an unwitting veteran about the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous. And about whatever helps us to get through the day.

  39. Day 5 (2021) - Census

    It’s Census Day in Australia—whether you’re at home, on the road, or in quarantine—and I think about what it means to be counted.
