E. J. (Edwin James) Brady (1869 – 1952) was an Australian poet born at Carcoar, New South Wales, and educated both in the USA and Sydney. He worked as a wharf clerk, a farmer and journalist, editing both rural and city newspapers. He was a friend and correspondent of Sir Edmund Barton, the first Australian prime minister and helped to save Henry Lawson's life in 1910. He later established a writers' and artists' colony at Mallacoota, in 1909, and continued to live there until his death in 1952 at the age of 83. More here and here
