Chop Your Own Wood is a locative documentary in development for delivery on mobile phones.

Set on Broadway, the main traffic artery into the Sydney CBD. The documentary begins with a focus on the relationship between St Barnabas Church & the Broadway Hotel during the 80s & 90s. During this period Arthur Elliot the publican began responding to the signs posted on the church noticeboard across Broadway by the Rev Robert Forsyth.

This weekly "conversation" became a part of Sydney folklore widely watched and followed by the thousands of people traversing Broadway daily and thousands more through the rigorous documentation the Sydney Morning Herald subjected the phenomenon to. It lasted till 1997 when the pub was sold.

The documentary documents and contextualises this conversation but also uses it as a way into exploring the colourful history of St Barnabas, especially during the depression years when it was dominated by the charismatic wowser RB Hammond and saw the birth of the "eternity man" Arthur Stace. It uses a mixture of basic text message subscription services, locative mobile browser media (both push - bluetooth - and streaming) and desktop browser media.
