Biographies

McKEOWN, KEITH COLLINGWOOD (1892-1952), entomologist, naturalist and author, was born on 6 November 1892 at Burwood, Sydney, second son of George Maurice McKeown, agriculturalist, and his wife Emmeline Mary, née Mayhew. His early years were spent on the Wollongbar Experimental Farm, between Lismore and Ballina, where his father was officer in charge. At 3 'with a cicada in both fists and a dead field mouse in his pocket' he began his lifelong interest in natural history. In November 1897 his father became manager of the experiment farm at Wagga Wagga where Keith received his schooling and taught himself entomology in his spare time; in the school holidays he delighted in visits to the Australian Museum, Sydney.
