Graham 'Grace' Walker was born in 1941, where his father was a businessman, owner of the local newspaper and sometime mayor of the local Municipality of Mosman. Brought up in Sydney he first entered the world of entertainment as an assistant in the property
department on the TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo in the 1960s and became a property buyer for film and television. His first credit in the art department was as props buyer and set dresser on Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock. He was later assistant art
director on the period drama film 'Caddie' in 1976 and took his first
credit as production designer on the mystery 'Summerfield'. Since then
he has worked on many Australian cinematic exports including 'Dead
Calm' and 'The Coca-Cola Kid' for which he was nominated for the
Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Awards' the Australian
equivalent of the Oscar, receiving one for 'Mad Max 2'. He also took an
acting role in one of the most successful films of all time from
Australia, 'Crocodile Dundee'.
He jokes that all he ever did on Skippy was used the taxidermied paw when Skippy had to open doors or gates, as no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't train a kangaroo to open a gate.
Lived in the semi-rural outer Sydney suburb of Arcadia during the 90s and early 2000s.
