Educated at Sydney Teachers' College and the University of Queensland, as a young graduate Lyndon Rose carried out some psychological research with Aboriginal, Maori and Samoan people

In 1960 she joined the staff of the Australian National University and was appointed
lecturer in the Communication and Study Skills Unit. She retired in 1974.

Lyndon Rose has published three novels and a non-fiction work on Aboriginal, Polynesian and Melanesian cultures, People in the Sun, and has been president of the
Fellowship of Writers, Canberra.

As a fifth generation Australian she has been long acquainted with the story
of Richard Siddins through a variety of his descendants and her relations.

It was clear, after carrying out a little research, that Siddins stood in his own right as an early merchant sea captain and she has set down his story as a tribute to his contribution to the trade out of Port Jackson in the early days of the Colony.
