Biography
Grant Rodwell is a senior lecturer in the School of Education at The University of Newcastle, Australia.
"The human stories authentically leap from the pages eloquently in Grant Rodwell’s latest book. Painstakingly researched and brilliantly told… simply splendid!
An account throughout that is sensitive, colourful and compelling. Composed yet again with rare skill by the remarkable man from Oberon. A book of dramatic sweep and great narrative strength."
John Ramsland, Emeritus Professor, University of Newcastle, Australia
