Geoff was born in the mountains of New Guinea. As a baby he liked to sit in a sand pit on the edge of the jungle, scoffing bananas. His manners have improved a little since then. Now he likes surfing, fixing up old cars and of course, writing stories. He has been a primary school teacher for thirty-five years and thinks that is why his stories are for children. His wife says he just never grew up.
Geoff teaches at Kinross Primary School where he is always amazed at the fantastic stories the children in his class write and read to each other.
Geoff is the author of two picturebooks: Ca-a-r Ca-a-a-r (1996) and Punzie ICQ (1999); and several novels: The Real Facts Of Life (2001), Grave of the Roti Men (2003), Babies Bite (2004), The Master (Walker, 2009) and Water (Scholastic, 2010).
These days Geoff lives in Perth with his beautiful wife Sindy. Their two children, Jade and Josh, have grown up, left home and now have children of their own.
