Overview: Jim Haynes is a first-generation Aussie whose mother migrated from the UK as a child during the Depression. His father arrived on a British warship at the end of World War II, met his mother and stayed. ‘My parents always insisted we were Australian, not British,’ says Jim.
Educated at Sydney Boys High School and Sydney Teachers’ College, he taught for six years at Menindee, on the Darling River, and later at high schools in northern New South Wales and in London. Jim has also worked in radio and as a nurse, cleaner and sapphire salesman and was a professional entertainer and recording artist for 25 years. He has two degrees in literature from the University of New England and a master’s degree from the University of Wales in the UK.
Jim was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 2016 ‘for service to the performing arts as an entertainer, author, broadcaster and historian’. He has written and compiled 35 books, released many albums of songs, verse and humour, and broadcast his weekly Australiana segment on Nine Network Radio (2GB) for 25 years. He lives at Moore Park in Sydney with his wife, Robyn.
