Rolf Boldrewood was the pseudonym of Australian novelist Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915). Born in London he settled with his family in Sydney in 1831 after his father a shipmaster delivered a group of convicts to Hobart Tasmania. Educated at W. T. Capes school and Sydney College Browne spent holidays with his friend John George Nathaniel Gibbes on Point Piper. At seventeen he settled on land near Port Fairy to lead a life of squatting. This lasted until 1868 as consecutive bad seasons forced him to resettle in Sydney after twenty-five years away. Around this time he began contributing articles on rural life to weekly Australian magazines publishing his serialized novel The Squatters Dream in 1875. Using his pseudonym he found success with bushranger novel Robbery Under Arms (1888) a story of survival and adventure set in the harsh Australian wilderness. While pursuing his literary interests Browne held several government positions including police magistrate gold commissioner and justice of the peace. After nearly three decades in Gulgong Dubbo Armidale and Albury he retired to Melbourne where he spent the last twenty years of his life.
