Her extensive bibliography included books for youngsters as well as adults. She has been considered as the first Australian novelist to earn international acclaim. Rosa Murray-Prior was born on March 26, 1851 in Bromelton, Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Her parents were Thomas Murray-Prior (1819-1892) and Matilda Harpur. Her father was born in England and immigrated to Australia in May 1839. He then took up grazing land in Queensland and was elected to the Legislative Council of the colony. He served as postmaster-general in the second Robert Herbert administration in 1866, the Robert Ramsay Mackenzie ministry in 1867-8, and the Arthur Hunter Palmer ministry in 1870-4, before being named chairman of council committees in July 1889.
