Tim Richards is a freelance travel writer whose work has appeared in publications around the world, including Lonely Planet's guidebooks. He fell into travel writing after living and teaching in Egypt and Poland, and is especially drawn to the former communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. He's a light-packing obsessive, and loves chasing down a story with a historical angle. He lives in Melbourne's lively central business district with his novelist wife, Narrelle M. Harris.
'Giant crocs, commando publicans, the ghosts of Burke and Wills. Tim's long and winding rail trek is a perfect escape.' John Birmingham, author of He Died with a Felafel in His Hand 'All the way it's clear that this is a man in love with train travel, a true rail fan.' Tony Wheeler, co-founder of Lonely Planet '... Tim takes us on an epic 7,000-kilometre voyage across Australia by train. Tim's engaging portrait of Australia's people, places, history and great trains is guaranteed to give you itchy feet ...' Mark Smith, The Man in Seat 61 'Richards' new book Heading South is an ode to the great rail journeys in Australia and like any form of travel, its highs and lows.' Sydney Morning Herald 'This is not just one for railway fans ... Richards has a good eye for fellow-travellers along the way and is keenly aware of not only passing through an amazingly changing landscape, but also the land's history, dark and colourful.' The Age 'Perfect for the armchair traveller ...' Readings 'The author's love of train travel and history imbues this book making for an interesting and delightful read.' Good Reading
