[edit] Brief biography
Ben was born in Kogarah in Sydney, New South Wales, and grew up mostly in Ballina on the Far North Coast. He has also lived in Junee near Wagga Wagga, and in Perth, Western Australia, and his parents lived for a time in Port Hedland.
[edit] Interests and hobbies
Ben's interests include science, music (particularly rock and folk, and obviously folk-rock), books (favourite authors include Alexandre Dumas, Jules Verne, Victor Hugo, Robert Harris, Kate Orman and Michael Marshall Smith), theatre (particularly the works of Shakespeare and Stoppard, and fringe theatre, with which he is mostly involved) and games (especially board games, role-playing games, theatre games and card games). He may be described as an anglophile, and among his favourite pop culture icons are Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, Monkey, Richard Dawkins and Douglas Adams.
[edit] Nicknames
Guybrush Threepwood is the name of the protagonist and player character in the LucasArts adventure game The Secret of Monkey Island and its sequels, which are probably Ben's favourite computer games. He also uses the online nickname "Barrington", after the character played by Danny John-Jules in Tony Robinson's television series Maid Marian and her Merry Men (it is also an obscure reference to Red Dwarf).
