In 1984, he moved to Sydney and spent time performing his poems in the pubs and clubs of the inner-city, often as a support act for local bands. Soon after he was approached by Mighty Boy Records to record an independent record of his poetry, titled 'The Esoteric Herrick'. This record gained airplay on alternate music radio stations and was quickly followed by the release of his second record, 'The Herrick Manifesto.'
In 1994, he moved with his wife and children to his current home in the Blue Mountains and began writing books for children and young adults.
His books have won the NSW Premier's Literary Awards in 2000 and 2005 and have been on the Children's Book Council of Australia "Children's Book of the Year Awards" shortlist multiple times, including 1997 - "Love, Ghosts and Nose Hair"; 1999 - "A Place like This"; 2001 - "The Simple Gift"; 2003 - "Tom Jones Saves the World"; 2013 - "Pookie Aleera is not my boyfriend"; 2015 - "Bleakboy and Hunter Stand out in the Rain"; 2019 - "The Bogan Mondrian", and have been recognised as an Honour Book in 2004 - "Do-wrong Ron" and 2005 - "By the River".
His books for children and young adults have been translated into numerous languages and are regularly set on school text lists in his native Australia. In 2019, the German translation of "by the river" won both the German Catholic Book of the Year Award and the prestigious German Youth Literature Award at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
