About the author (2015)

Noel Humphreys was born in 1947, the third of four children. As his parents led a nomadic lifestyle, Noel was educated in several New South Wales schools, up to the Intermediate Certificate (which was the equivalent of present-day Year 10).Noel worked a few years for the New South Wales State Rail Authority before following his eldest brother's lead and enlisting in the Army. His twenty-year career included two tours of Viet Nam during the conflict in that country. The first tour was shared with both of his brothers. He married when he was nineteen years old, and he and his wife, Heather, had two daughters and adopted a son. They are still happily married, and in 2016 will celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary. It is expected that their guests will include eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.Noel and Heather now live in Caboolture, Queensland, and love caravanning, enabling them to see more of this great nation.
