Tim Griffiths was born in Sydney and has lived and worked there most of his life, apart from travels in Europe, Asia and America and two years in Papua New Guinea.
He studied at the University of New South Wales and obtained degrees in Arts and Law.
He works as a lawyer and over the last several years has accepted a number of appointments as an arbitrator.
Tim and his wife have four children and have enjoyed introducing them to bushwalking, camping, cross country skiing, sailing, kayaking, surfing, snorkelling, diving, cycling and the great outdoors. He has a keen interest in Australian history and a sense of awe at the contribution of earlier generations, hence his fascination with the Frank Hurley story.
Tim has had no direct experiences on the scale of a Hurley and is yet to have an opportunity to visit Antarctica. This is his first novel. He is presently writing a new historical fiction novel based on Hurley’s adventures in New Guinea.
Endurance is Tim’s first book.
