Author Spotlight – Colin Thiele
Colin was known as an environmentalist, Thiele wrote several books about endangered Australian locations, including Coorong (1972) and Range Without Man: The North Flinders (1974). Many of his books have been translated and published abroad. In 1977 he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia for his services to literature and education. Thiele was known as a faithful correspondent: he received and answered thousands of letters from children, kept at the National Library and the University of South Australia.

Storm Boy is a 1964 Australian children’s novel written by Colin Thiele, about a boy and his pelican. The story, set in the Coorong region of South Australia, focuses on the relationships the boy has with his father Hide-Away Tom, the pelican, and an outcast Australian Aboriginal man called Fingerbone.
