BiographyHistory

Sydney Jephcott was born at his parent's homestead, 'Kahbionba', near Corryong in the upper Murray district, in sight of Mount Kosciusko. It was in this mountainous area at Jingellic that Jephcott spent most of his life as a cattle farmer. A self-educated man, he was given encouragement in his writings by the poet John Farrell, who also introduced Jephcott to writers such as Francis Adams, Rolf Boldrewood, Bernard O'Dowd and James Brunton Stephens.
