Cameron Archer AM has spent his whole life in agriculture – from growing up on a farm, attending an agricultural high school, studying agriculture at the University of Sydney, and completing a PhD on the environmental history of the Paterson Valley. His book, The Magic Valley, is partly based on that study, but also on his long-term interest in local history and the environment. In the past 35 years he has interviewed many residents about the valley.
Cameron spent 40 years at Tocal College, including 28 years as principal, where he oversaw many changes and innovations in agriculture, agricultural education, and heritage conservation. He is a conjoint professor with the University of Newcastle and serves on a number of boards and committees relating to the environment, history, heritage and education.
