about greg
For more than 30 years, Greg Cary was recognised as one of Queensland's most respected broadcasters. Before leaving radio in 2013 to concentrate on writing, Greg hosted a current affairs program that was networked across Queensland and helped shape opinion on a variety of issues. For a decade, he was a regular member of the Sunrise programme on Channel 7, where his friendly and considered approach to all subject matter won him a wide audience.
He has known every Prime Minister since (and including) Gough Whitlam and interviewed all of Australia’s great athletes over the last 40 years. Greg is a voracious reader, loves sport, and is a keen surfer and golfer (where his passion somewhat outweighs his skill).
His memoir, An Absence of Certainty, sold well in Australia and overseas, and he has since released three novels - A Fascinating Investigation (into the murder of shock-jock Big Ed Bradley), A Colour of Blue and the newly released The Dream Weaver. They are mysteries set in Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, but, like the best in the genre, they have much to say about the world in which the events unfold.
Greg now does daily (Monday to Friday) commentaries on his YouTube channel, ‘A View From The Mountain’, (@greg_cary) which are also published here on this website. You can always contact him through the Contact page.

“What unites these books — and sets Greg Cary apart in Australian crime fiction — is his ability to draw readers in from the opening page. These are tightly crafted murder mysteries driven not only by suspense, but by the enduring pull between wrongdoing and reckoning. Greg never loses sight of the human cost of crime, or of the people left to live in its shadow. Each story unfolds with mounting tension and emotional depth, carried by a cast of richly realised characters who draw the reader ever deeper until the final page arrives too soon. He writes with the insight of someone who has spent a lifetime observing people and understanding the many perspectives that shape the world around us. His characters feel real, his plots are absorbing, and his themes linger long after the last page.” —Janice Walker Jones, author, teacher, counsellor and dream analyst.
