Biographical history
Charles Henry Chomley was an Australian author, journalist and newspaper editor. In the early 1900s he edited 'the Arena', an illustrated Melbourne weekly, devoted to the arts, politics and fashionable society. Chomley sailed for England in 1907 and in April 1908 became editor (and later proprietor) of the 'British-Australasian', an established weekly which catered mainly for Australian expatriates and visitors, dealing with political, economic and commercial matters affecting Britain, Australia and New Zealand. Chomley published four novels: 'The Last Fare: A Melbourne Detective Story' (1897), 'The Wisdom of Esau' (1901), 'Mark Meredith: A Tale of Socialism' (1905) and 'The Long Lost Galleon' (1905). He also authored short stories, a book for children and a biography of the Kelly gang. Chomley is the uncle of writer Martin Boyd.
