Author Biography David Metzenthen (Author)As a child, David Metzenthen was a nature boy; he loved fishing and farm work, exploring the bush, and being outdoors under the stars. He also lived very much inside his own head; feeling that the world was a place of unlimited adventure. He harboured dreams of becoming a cowboy, a fisherman, a farmer, a sailor, or a writer. Instead he left home at eighteen, with a copy of Jack Kerouacs On the Road for company, and hitch-hiked his way around New Zealand. Returning to Australia, David worked as a builders labourer and advertising copy writer before finding success as a writer of books for children and young adults.David Metzenthen now lives with his wife and two children in Melbourne and is one of Australias top writers for young people.
