He spent his youth in avant garde circuses travelling Australia, Canada and Europe.
Zeb is a talented musician, proficient on the piano, the trumpet and the saxophone and competent on several other instruments.
He came to Tasmania after his half-brother died in mysterious circumstances, and has never left.
From somewhere he has acquired a supply of expensive but old fashioned shirts, as well as cashmere jumpers, beautiful suits and silk scarves. When asked, he says they had belonged to his late father.
Zeb says he looks like his father, but he is determined not to be like him in any other way. He says he wants his father’s wardrobe to have a second life on someone who is a decent human being.
