Residence 1

📍Kowloon, Hong Kong, China

“From the age of four I grew up in Hong Kong, where my father had gone into business — a swirl of neon, harbour ferries, markets and noise utterly unlike anywhere in Australia. For a small boy it was intoxicating: a city of a million sensations that taught me the world was vast and strange and thrilling. I went to school on the Kowloon side, swam, broke my arm, discovered I could perform. When we finally returned to Sydney I carried Hong Kong with me — a restlessness, an appetite for the exotic, a sense that life was meant to be lived loud and large.”

Residence 2

📍Belrose, Sydney, NSW 2085, Australia

“After years away we came back to Sydney in 1972 and settled in Belrose, a quiet garden suburb on the plateau above the northern beaches. I was the new kid, the dreamer who had seen more of the world than my classmates, and at Killarney Heights High I met a boy named Andrew Farriss. That friendship was the spark for everything — for INXS, for the band that would carry me onto the world's stages. Belrose was leafy and ordinary and safe, and somehow out of that ordinary suburban quiet came all the restlessness and hunger that became my music.”
