Diana Jarman

Diana Jarman writes historical fiction. Twice around the world, slow travel by ocean liner with an adventurous mother, and a journey on a cattle boat to Hong Kong, all by the time she was twelve, left a lasting impression that the world is truly global and culturally diverse.
She was born on a rice farm near Leeton, NSW, schooled in Darwin in the 1950s, Melbourne and Canberra in the 60s and graduated from ANU in 1971. Teaching and Librarianship qualifications provided a career path in Goulburn and Nowra High Schools, and for twenty-five years in TAFE NSW.
A dairy farmer from 1980 Diana moved to Kyogle in 1988 with her family and herd of dairy cows. Always going to write ‘something’ took time, but she finally found that elusive writer later in life. She self-published The Philatelist’s Album in 2025.
