born on 4 August 1960 at Perth in Western Australia
My name is Tim Winton and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because I am an
internationally recognised Australian writer. My novel Cloudstreet, published in
1991, won many Australian literary awards, and it also won awards in Britain. It was also
short-listed for the Booker prize, a very prestigious English literary prize.
