Peter Hupfauf was born in Berlin, went to Art School and worked as a graphic designer in Frankfurt, and travelled the world until he settled in Sydney, Australia. He has also been a practising artist, completed a PhD, and published several academic books on art and art history. He is married, has 2 adult sons and twin grandchildren. He has particularly fond memories of the years he designed the toys inside the much loved chocolate eggs of a well-known company. This book was inspired by real-life encounters on one of the many trips into central Australia.
