Gwen Meredith
Gwenyth Valmai Meredith OBE (18 November 1907 – 3 October 2006) was an Australian author, dramatist and playwright, and radio writer. She is best known as the writer of the long-running radio serial, ''Blue Hills''.
==Life==
Meredith was born in Orange, New South Wales to George and Florence Meredith, and was their only child. She was educated in Sydney, first at Sydney Girls High School then the University of Sydney from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1929. Her father believed that, with the Depression, there were too many people needing jobs and that she should stay at home. She therefore managed the housekeeping and, from 1932 to 1939, owned and operated a bookshop.
Meredith married Sydney engineer, Ainsworth Harrison, on 24 December 1938. He proved to be "a devoted and supportive husband" and travelled around Australia with her as she researched her serials. They also travelled overseas several times. In an interview, she told Arrow that, with the support of her father and then her husband, she never had to make a living from her writing, though believed she could have if she had needed to.
She retired in 1976 when the last episode of her most famous serial, ''Blue Hills'', went to air, and she and her husband moved from their beachside home "Braybrook", in Seaforth,〔 to the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, where she took up watercolour painting. Her other interests were gardening, bushwalking and flyfishing. She died at her home at Bowral on 3 October 2006, aged 98.
