Michael Cheyne is a former diplomat and journalist based in Canberra. Long ago, a uni tutor told young Michael he wrote well but wasn’t sure what he wanted to say. See the world, work it out, the tutor urged.
Since then, Michael has lived, worked and loved in Britain, Hong Kong, India, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Pakistan and various parts of Australia.
He finally understands no one ever really works it out but it’s fun trying.
