The author’s life experiences have included time as a construction supervisor, general builder, cabinetmaker, a painter, baker and pastry cook and a salesman. He has travelled widely around Australia and New Zealand and spent a considerable part of his life in remote areas, which include the Kimberley, Arnhem Land, and islands off the northern coast. This is his second book. His first ‘Here and There’ was written as a keepsake for his children, Shannon and John and relates his travels during his days in the construction industry. The author has drawn on these experiences and his passion for early Australian history as a background for this work of fiction. Baden and his wife, Judy are recently retired and living in Renmark on the mighty Murray River.
