Ted
Egan
has lived most of his life in the Northern Territory, and presently lives in
Alice Springs. In his early career with the Department of Aboriginal Affairs
he was mainly in the bush, and engaged in fascinating activities like
stockwork and crocodile hunting while employed as a patrol officer and
reserve Superintendent. Later he was a teacher at bush schools.
He is a member of the Order of Australia (AO) for services to the Aboriginal
people, and for an ongoing contribution to the literary heritage of
Australia through song and verse'. He was a member of the first National
Reconciliation Council.
He has been writing and recording songs since 1969, and has produced 28
albums - strong, consistent sellers. He appears regularly at both folk and
country music festivals, being one of the very few people who successfully
bridge the gap.
He won the 1989 Northern Territory History Award. He has a Master of Arts
Degree (History). His earlier Bachelor of Arts Degree was achieved the hard
way - studying in the bush. He is the Co-Author (with Peter Forrest) of the
six part historical series on audio cassette, The Territory Story.
Ted has an honorary Doctorate (D. Little) from Charles Darwin University.
He is an inaugural Life Member of the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame,
the Country Music Association of Australia, The Workers Heritage Centre
Barcaldine, The Waltzing Matilda Museum at Winton and The Drover's Camp,
Camooweal. He is the Patron of The Drover's Camp. He is National Patron of
VISE - Volunteers for Isolated Students Education.
Ted Egan is engaged in the long-term project of personally writing and
producing a series of musical albums (with companion books) titled THE FACES
OF AUSTRALIA. To date 5 titles, The Overlanders, The Anzacs, The
Shearers, The Aboriginals and The Convicts are completed. The series will
incorporate over 100 new songs he will write in order to cover the topics
comprehensively.
He is the author of the books A Drop of Rough Ted, Would I lie to You?, The
Paperboy's War, Sitdown Up North, Justice All Their Own, The Land Downunder,
Due Inheritance and is Co-Author of two books (with Robert Ingpen, Bob
Marchant and Nerys Evans) each titled the The Drover's Boy.
TED EGAN is featured in the Hands of Fame and the Roll of Renown at the
Tamworth Australian Country Music Centre, and was the inaugural recipient of
the Australian Folk Trust Award for Major Contribution to the Australian
Tradition.
From 2003 - 2007 Ted was appointed as Administrator of the Northern
Territory, resident at Government House, Darwin. He has now returned to his
old lifestyle at Alice Springs.
