Biographies

PALMER, EDWARD VIVIAN (VANCE) (1885-1959), writer, was born on 28 August 1885 at Bundaberg, Queensland, seventh child of Australian-born Henry Burnet Palmer, schoolteacher, and his Irish wife Jessie, née Carson. His father's bookishness and rather prim, middle-class decency were strong influences. The boy's early education was in several Queensland towns, then at Ipswich Grammar School where he excelled more at cricket and Rugby than academically, although he matriculated and knew by heart much of 'Banjo' Paterson's verse. A visit by Victor Trumper provided an ideal of physical perfection.
