Gordon Dowell was born in Echuca and has sashayed through life ever since - a life punctuated by travelling, working in education, being a 60s conscript, researcher & writer, oral historian…and existentialist. An enthusiast of Jack Hibberd’s dingo culture and as such‘…skirted the bovine pack…and introduced the Australian Crawl to the Frog…’ as Monk O’Neill in his Australian classic - Stretch of the Imagination. And if that wasn’t enough, played Michael Angelo Hawkins (‘…My father was a signwriter…’) in another Hibberd play - The Les Darcy Show.
