 Radio Eye - 6 May 2006  - Walking Well Worn Paths
The Australian writer Randolph Stow is probably best known for his coming-of-age novel, The Merry-go-round in the Sea, set in the Western Australian coastal town of Geraldton, and for his much loved children's story, Midnite, about a happy young bushranger.
It comes as a surprise then to find out that Stow has been living outside Australia since the mid 60s, and for much of the past 30 years in 'Constable country', in England's south-east.
In this program, Stow engages with questions of belonging, and how we make our homes by telling stories about the places in which we live.

 The Papua, New Guinea Sightings (2)
The inclusion of the Boianai case in the well-known Australian book of fiction, Randolph Stow's 1979, "Visitants," would become a double-edged sword.
Although it brought the details of the case to a larger audience, its inclusion in pure fiction lessened the appeal of the events as being REAL.
Stow was a cadet patrol-officer in Papua, New Guinea, and an assistant to the Government Anthropologist.

 Kenneth (Ivo) Mackenzie Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Kenneth Mackenzie is the least known but the first of the "precocious" literary talents to come out of Western Australia.
Like Randolph Stow and Tim Winton, he wrote a major work at a remarkably young age: the first draft of his best-known novel The Young Desire It: A Novel (1937) was written when he was seventeen years old.
In his comparatively short life--he frequently compared himself to John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley--he wrote hundreds of poems, four completed novels, radio playscripts, and many short stories.
