About the author

He knows this country. And its crocodiles.

Grew up in the Northern Territory Veterinarian Survived a saltwater crocodile attack

Graham Wilson grew up in a remote Aboriginal community in Australia’s Northern Territory. After becoming a veterinarian, he worked on large cattle properties across this place. During this time he survived an attack by a large saltwater crocodile.

He started writing a memoir to capture his family’s story, particularly that of his parents, and to record stories he heard about other amazing people who lived in this remote land. He has since written 12 novels, including two series and two standalone books. His NT series has crocodiles and their importance to Aboriginal people at the heart of the story, and is built around the real and authentic places of the Territory.

Graham now lives in the historic Rocks district of Sydney, a short walk from Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. When he gets the chance, he returns to the Outback to continue to hear and tell its stories.
