Elizabeth Fysh grew up on her parents’ property near Kynuna, 150 kilometres from Winton in Queensland’s central west. After attending the University of Queensland, she married Frith Fysh and took up life at Answer Downs. In 1984, the family moved to Longreach, buying Acacia Downs from the Estate of Ainslie Templeton. There, the couple became very involved in the establishment of the Qantas Founders’ Museum.
Elizabeth Fysh majored in Politics and Literature at University but she has lived almost her entire life in the Outback. Being born and bred in ‘Katter Country’, she says she has a slightly better understanding than most about where Bob Katter is coming from.
Now widowed and living in Brisbane, Fysh has time to indulge her passion for writing, and this is her third published work.
