Mr Antony W Rogers

Antony W. Rogers writes from a deep connection to Brisbane’s early settler and working‑class histories. His family’s story threads through the city’s foundations — from Cornish immigrants who settled in Nundah in the 1850s to the Stone family, whose name endures in Stones Corner. On his maternal side, generations lived and worked along Wynnum Road, anchored by the Church of the Ascension in Morningside, a place that has marked the milestones of Antony’s own life.

Trained in mechanical engineering and business management, Antony spent his career in information‑technology project leadership before turning to the archival and narrative work that now defines his writing. His research into family histories and overlooked local narratives informs both his non‑fiction and his fiction, where he brings emotional nuance and documentary precision to the lives of ordinary people shaped by extraordinary times.
