Profile

Greg Ross is a grandfather who should know better and does, but loves life just the way it is. A much loved mentor, (now sadly gone to that great classic car wine bar in the sky), would often refer to him as the "Minister for Good Times," he finds it an honourable and very comfortable hat.

A marketing and sales consultant and freelance photo-journalist (motoring, music, theatre and travel), he’s currently Partnership Manager for the world renowned Yirra Yaakin Aboriginal Theatre Company

He loves photography, rugby union and writing. A past finalist in the annual Maj Monologues competition, he's now five years ... oh alright, six ... overdue with a book on his motoring life - things keep happening, however he’s now ‘getting on with it.

In years gone by, there were events galore for the Bentley Drivers Club, he dreamt up the concept for the annual "Matso's Classic Car Run"  through the Kimberley each year and later established the inaugural "Theo's Run," now run by the Dowerin Car Club.

Other interests include music, the Kimberley, theatre - occasionally treading the boards as an amateur (very!) actor, painting (well, he’s completed one set of lessons ... there's a very long way to go!) and has an absurd wish (a complete lack of talent!) to form a cover band doing Leonard Cohen songs.

Business and the world of theatre occasionally take a back-seat for time-out at the wheel (on a fine day!) of LARRIKIN, his pristine 1969 Ford Fairmont (fire-engine red with a black vinyl roof)  or A MUSE, his limited edition Black Widow Honda cruiser motorbike.

2010 is looking fascinating – he’s just finished playing the role of Pete in Justin Flemings' fabulous play BURNT PIANO (at Garrick Theatre), the lovely Ann-Kristin is visiting from Germany for three weeks in February, acclaimed director, actor and playwright, Edgar Metcalf has invited him, (accepted with delight),  to play the role of Frank Baden-Powell in his new play WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE (Dolphin Theatre Fri 25 Jun - Sat 10 Jul. There’s a planned visit to Dracula’s Castle in August and the news is that Leonard Cohen is returning to Oz for another concert or two! Not to mention movement on the Wheatbelt Motorplex and Fairline Motoryachts.

Life just keeps getting better!
