Maxwell MacAlister "Max" Brown (21 March 1916 – 19 September 2003) was an Australian novelist and journalist.

Early career

Brown was born in Invercargill, New Zealand and educated in Melbourne, Australia. He worked as a journalist in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, as well as in country towns in N.S.W. and W.A. At one stage, he worked on the Melbourne Argus with fellow journalist and famous Australian novelist-to-be George Johnston, whose tumultuous marriage with writer Charmian Clift would be the subject of Brown’s last book. He also worked as a teacher, fitter and turner, wharf labourer and film publicist. He served in the Royal Australian Air Force during the Second World War and used his severance pay to write Australian Son, a highly regarded and sympathetic biography of bushranger Ned Kelly.

Writing career

After publishing Australian Son in 1948, Brown went on to write a number of other books, several dealing with aboriginal themes. His 1966 novel, The Jimberi Track, tells the tale of harassment by white settlers and miners experienced by various aboriginal tribal peoples, including the Wongais in South Australia and Western Australia after World War II. He also published The Black Eureka, an account of the 1946 Pilbara strike by Aboriginal and part-Aboriginal stockmen in the Pilbara, an iconic story in Aboriginal/European race relations which was also retold by Brown’s friend, the author Donald Stuart in his award-winning novel Yandy.
