The Gallery
Welcome to the gallery.
The gallery is divided into three sections
cartoons, black and white sketches,
and colour realist art work. It's purpose is to provide a perspective on
some 40 years of work, as well as to introduce new material which will be
added to the archives and provide another place for
the "Hoo Ha" game to go!
What else is there to say? Enjoy!

When Benjamin Franklin once said that there were only two certainties in life,
one of them was taxes. What he should have said was that there were three
certainties, the last being that where governments tax the populace, the cartoonists will comment! See 35 years of the "highlights" of
government revenue raising in Australia in the taxation gallery.

The "HooHa" Game.
When Margaret Whitlam made a seemingly innocent comment
to her husband, the
then Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam, about what she was hearing on return from
a good will visit to Japan, little did she realise what she had unleashed!
Experience the first few years of the Whitlam Government for yourself with
the "HooHa" game! Published in the boxing day edition of the "Sun News
Pictorial" in 1974, the game only appeared in the first edition, as in later
editions the paper was taken up with more news of the devastation caused by
cyclone Tracy in Darwin - the extent of which was then only becoming apparent.
There are two files for the game, one which includes the game in A4 format
plus a description, the other just includes the game in A3 - its original
format.
See if you've got what it takes! Try your hand at the HooHa Game in A4, or in the original A3 format.
Note: you require the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is available free, in order
to view and print out the game. Most browsers come with it pre-installed,
however if you need to download it you can find it at the link below.
