Anthony S Cameron

Anthony Cameron grew up in Melbourne, Australia.

He escaped in his early twenties to central Victoria, years before the big 'tree change'.

He designed and built a sustainable house, raised two sustainable children.

He worked for twenty years in the performing arts world as a sound engineer, lighting tech, tour manager and head tech.

Has also worked as a fruit picker, firewood cutter, teacher, factory worker, truck driver, builder, tiler and farm worker, as well as volunteering for community radio stations and local fringe arts festivals, somehow finding time to write journals and short stories between gigs and nappy changes.

Whilst in hospital, and faced with losing his right arm, he wrote what became the basis of one of the Driftwood stories, 'The Raffle', with his left hand.

He left Australia in 2012, relocating to Thailand where he spent seven years making up for lost time writing, surfing and scouring the beaches for treasures, which he turned into sculptures and functional art. He continues to do this in Muizenberg, Cape Town where he now resides.
