Luke previously worked as the physiotherapist for the Geelong Football Club (while being a Western Bulldogs supporter, giving him a good understanding of a dual narrative).

He has long been a lover of books and writing, and has three novels in a drawer, but when COVID-19 hit, he decided that it was time to take his shot.

He won the 2021 Bellarine Writers Competition short story competition and was the Equal Second Prize Winner of the Sorrento Creative Writer Prize. Gerald Murnane said Luke's writing is ‘impressive’ and ‘possesses material, natural sensibilities and instincts.

On a number of occasions prior to 2017 Hannah wanted to donate some of her pre-loved baby items to local charities. Often the charities most likely to need these items were unable to accept donations due to a lack of both space and resources to sort, clean, safety check and store items. This meant that many valuable and needed pre-loved items weren’t able to be passed on to women in need. It also meant that when these services had clients in need, they often weren’t able to assist them with baby items and equipment quickly and easily.

In her search for someone to donate to, she came across St Kilda Mums in Melbourne and Dandelion Support Network in Sydney. She discovered similar services in various other states and territories in Australia and after reaching out to a range of local services, she realised this was something that was much needed in Canberra, this led to the creation of Roundabout Canberra.
