He was a South Australian representative surf lifesaver and water polo player.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally a well-known and widely-performed and award-winning playwright, Bill Reed began writing fiction in his late thirties. Water Workout remains his only nonfiction work. To date he has written fourteen novels, including ‘1001 Lankan Nights, books 1 and 2’, and has won Australian national awards in all three genre areas of drama, longform fiction and short stories. He now mostly resides in Sri Lanka.\u003cbr\u003eMurray Rose was voted The Greatest Australian Male Olympian of All Time in 1984. He won four Olympic gold medals, along with one silver and one bronze, and broke 15 world records during his swimming career. At one stage he held the 400 m, 800 m and 1500 m world records at the one time. He became the youngest triple medal winner in Olympic history after competing at the age of 17 in the Melbourne Olympics and then at the age of 21 in the Rome Olympics. He came to live mostly in the United States, augmenting his involvement in swimming with being an actor, a sports commentator, and a marketing executive before returning to Australia to settle in Sydney with his wife.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reed Independent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169264615664,"sku":"2940152357714","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940152357714_p0.jpg?v=1764019472","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940152357714","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
