Greig Pickhaver

Iconic entertainer Greig Pickhaver, known for his comedic alter ego HG Nelson, investigates the leading characters in his family history. His search uncovers a great-grandfather, Samuel Rinder, who in the late 19th century, made his fortune as a sheep trader during Bendigo’s boom years. As a wealthy man about town, Rinder spent much of his time and money down at the racetrack, but when economic recession loomed, he turned to crime. Greig also investigates a family secret that lies much closer to home. His childhood was dominated by his parents’ troubled marriage. For the first time, Greig wants to look behind that relationship and investigate the events that shaped his mother’s life.
