Although born as a city slicker (in Carlton, Melbourne), Geoffrey Wright spent his childhood in the Victorian Mallee. Times were tough then. Drought and the Depression saw to that. But the young Geoffrey developed a great and enduring love for the bush and its people and animals.
A journalist of more than 50 years standing, Geoffrey's great pleasure is writing about funny people he has met and funny things he has seen and experienced in his travels around Australia. His subjects vary from former Victorian Premier, Jeff Kennett (Geoffrey was once his press secretary), to the Beatles (he arranged bush entertainment for them when they visited Australia in 1964) and to a bloke up Pyramid Hill way, who invented an electrified snail proof fence.
