'After graduating from The University of Adelaide in the 1960s, Geoff Brougham spent over thirty years as an English teacher in secondary schools in South Australia, a career interspersed with a decade spent breeding and training racehorses, riding trackwork and being a part-time wool grower, cattleman and share cropper. His obvious attachment to poetry - the writing of it - arose in Brougham's fifties after a year's teaching in the isolated town of Peterborough in the state's Mid-North.'
