| - On July 16, 1961, Ayres was born in Portuguese Macau (now in China). In 1964, Ayres mother married an Australian sailor and migrated her family to Perth, Western Australia. In 1972, when Ayres was 11 years old, his mother committed suicide. She was a nightclub singer. Ayres' stepfather died of a heart attack three years after the death of his wife, and two days before he was due to remarry. Ayres and his older sister briefly lived with their stepfather's former fiancee, before being placed in the care of Ayres' history teacher. They then moved to Canberra, ACT with their guardian, whom Ayres' sister later married. Ayres' 2007 film The Home Song Stories is loosely based on this early period of his life.
