About the author

Douglas Wright Lockwood (9 July 1918 - 21 December 1980) was an Australian newspaperman and author. Born in Natimuk, 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Horsham in Victoria's Wimmera district, Lockwood left school at 12 to help run his father's newspaper, the weekly West Wimmera Mail, at the height of the Great Depression. With his father's blessing he left home at 16 and worked as a reporter on rural Victorian papers in Camperdown, Tatura, and Mildura before being hired by Sir Keith Murdoch in 1941 as a journalist on The Herald in Melbourne.
