Charles Waterstreet
Charles Waterstreet may be a jack of some trades, but he is master of none. During daylight hours, he plies his trade as a working barrister in the courtrooms across Sydney; by night he works at many things that take his fancy. In this way, he has managed to publish two books of memoirs ('Precious Bodily Fluids' and 'Repeating the Leaving'), produce films (Blood Oath, Howling III), and write a column for the Sun Herald on Sunday. He plans to work day and night to improve.
