P.M.J. Downing

PMJ Downing was born in Drogheda, Eire, in May 1940. His family immigrated to Australia in 1953. At the age of 17, he left his job in Brisbane and, planned to go to Cape York in North Eastern Australia to hunt crocodiles for the lucrative croc skin market. Instead, for three years, he travelled extensively around North Western Australia in the Kimberley region to places such as Townsville, Alice Springs, Halls Creek, Rum Jungle and Darwin. He worked on a water-drilling rig deep in the bush and as a miner in Mt Isa Mines where they extract silver and lead. He has done a cattle drive on horseback and panned for gold in the Ord River.

He returned to Brisbane in 1959 where he met Dee, an English girl who was to become his future wife. The Cannon of East Sydney married them in 1962. They subsequently returned to England where he joined the Royal Air Force. He spent 22 years travelling, with Dee, and their two daughters to places such as Hong Kong, Cyprus and Machrihanish on the Mull of Kintyre, deep in the wilds of Scotland. He left the RAF in 1988 and started a photographic studio. In 2005, he retired and settled down to write stories.
