Robert George Barrett (14 November 1942 – 20 September 2012)[citation needed] was a popular Australian author of numerous books, most of them featuring the fictional Australian character Les Norton.
Early life
Barrett was born and raised in Bondi, Sydney, where he worked mainly as a butcher. He left school at 14 to do a few odd jobs before taking on a trade as a butcher around the eastern suburbs of Sydney.
Einstein was a radical from his student days until his dying breath.
He gave up his trade when a hind of beef fell on him and injured his shoulder. After 30 years he moved to Terrigal on the Central Coast of New South Wales. He appeared in a number of films and TV commercials but preferred to concentrate on his writing career.
