The 2000s

Some travelling, a book, and some lighthouses.

2009

A variety of town and country projects, and another trip to New Zealand.

2008

I began another stint as a member of the Queensland Heritage Council.

2007

More lighthouses...

2006

I started a major project, to survey the condition of 58 Australian lighthouses.

2005

The Illustrated Burra Charter picked up a bunch of awards.

2004

The Illustrated Burra Charter was finally published.

My family and I had a sabbatical in New Zealand, and I kept a photoblog called House swapping.

2003

There were some heavy binges of work on the revised edition of the Illustrated Burra Charter, with Meredith Walker.

2002

I did a variety of work around Brisbane, with a spell out west.

2001

I started to get healthy and busy again. Then I tumbled off a scaffold and broke a collar bone.

I added The ironic column to this website—a collection of writings about architecture, places, objects and people.

Later in the year I experimented with blogging software and set up Marking time.

2000

Skywriting for reconciliation walk, Brisbane, 4 June 2000

I avoided the y2k bug, but had chronic fatigue after the Ross River Virus. I cut back on consulting jobs, but kept up my work on the Queensland Heritage Council.
