Since being “discovered” in 1999 on a beach at Lorne, Victoria, he has worked in the Gobi Desert, co-building a vast array of creatures from snakes to dragons out of 60,000 tonnes of sand. He’s built giants and castles in the mountainous sci-fi landscape of China’s Yunnan province, and blitzed the world championships of sand sculpting in Denmark in 2003 by turning a three-metre-high pile of sand into a terrified shipwreck victim! This year he will be presenting his craft at the Tasmanian Craft Fair.
