Antony Fawcus

Antony Fawcus was born in England in 1943 and now lives in Adelaide, South Australia. After sixteen years as an RAF navigator, he migrated to Australia in 1981 and spent the next twenty-five years teaching at the primary level, mostly at Pembroke Junior School.

He and his wife later restored State Heritage buildings on a small property on the Fleurieu Peninsula, where they ran an 1840s cottage as a bed-and-breakfast overlooking the Southern Ocean. During those years, he wrote much of his poetry and several novels.

Antony writes literary fiction shaped by a lifelong interest in history, landscape, memory, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people.
