Tim Barritt was born in ‘The Barossa Valley’ of South Australia - on 18.1.1951 ‘The Family Farm’ - The Ranch - called Highlands, is a 2,300 Acre steep and rugged grazing property in the Barossa Ranges, east of Lyndoch in the beautiful and rich Barossa Valley. It is currently running Merino sheep, Angus cattle and cropping for hay. This has been his home, workplace, spirit and heart base for all of his life. Educated locally and in Adelaide, in 1972 he took his poems and guitar to London where he spent some time as a busker in the ‘underground’, also writing and reading poems in the many poetry circles around this town. This was one of the richest times in his life. Returning home he married in 1975. He then ‘disappeared’ into ‘farm, work and family’ for 35 years, only ‘emerging’ in 2010 with the new ‘mantle and responsibility’, Poet and Earth Angel 181, after his ‘life partner with whom he shared all of this 35 years’, departed the scene - searching for greener pastures. He was an active contributor to the Land Care movement in the ‘90’s, in particular in saving gum trees from vineyard developers and promoting better land use practises. He has self published two books of poems, ‘Harvest Time of Dying’ 1989, and ‘Common Thread’ 1995.
