Eli Beverley-Schack

Eli Beverley-Schack has lived in Sydney since he was 11 years old. A string of men’s hair salons suited his gregarious, extrovert personality. He and his wife travelled extensively throughout Asia and Europe, collecting memories.

Now retired, Eli enjoys his rooftop apartment in Neutral Bay, looking across to the city he loves, and reading.  Always reading. He still travels frequently with his new partner, and enjoys harbour-side walks, attending live music venues, independent theatre, and is a regular presence at cinemas across Sydney. He enjoys festivals, obscure art movies, movies, national theatre productions and everything that the Sydney cultural scene offers.

He walks to local libraries to select books appealing to his latest interests, whether it be history, travel, politics, biographies, reads reviews of movies, journals and much more, and enjoys taking photos of the skies above his beloved city that litter his Facebook feed.

Eli observes.  He sees.  He goes beyond the superficial, and he shares.
