Robert Cox was born in 1936 and grew up in Rhodesia. He experienced a very happy family life with much travel and adventure. After completing secondary and tertiary education and Army National Service, he took a 'gap' year to Australia and New Zealand - which turned out to be two years! Later, after marrying, he returned to Australia with his wife and two sons, and travelled the entire continent. This life eventually set him into 'writing mode', covering experiences and research from throughout his life.
