Autorenporträt
Carney Vaughan is only six months older than Sydney's Harbour Bridge but has needed many more coats of paint. He started his working life as a draughtsman but switched to the electrical trades which, at that time, seemed more interesting. As an electrical contractor involved in furnace and boiler technology he has worked in many foreign countries. In his younger (for younger read more active and adventurous) period of life he has worked as a builders labourer; swung a spall hammer in a Cape Otway quarry; dived for abalone in the cold waters off the Victorian coast; trawled for prawns in waters around North Queensland and Torres Strait and has worked a season chasing Banana prawns in the Gulf of Carpentaria. There's plenty to tell. He has lived a lot of this book. Carney has two children and, at the time of writing this, three feisty grandchildren. He and wife, Bev (she with the patience of a saint), now live in quiet retirement in Thirroul, a beautiful village type northern suburb of Wollongong on the New South Wales coast just seventy kilometres south of Sydney. If life has provided him with only one lesson he says it is this..."Humanism sits more comfortably than all other philosophies, try it, give it a chance, it is so rewarding."
