BiographyHistory

William Bede Christie worked as a surveyor in the Mildura/Wentworth districts of Victoria and New South Wales.

In the late 1880s, Christie was editor of the Wentworth Advocate and is described by Rod Kirkpatrick as 'a magnet for conflict'. Christie reported his legal difficulties to J. F. Archibald (q.v.) at the Bulletin and Archibald published Christie's portrait and his correspondence.

Christie published Our Land Laws: Their Influence on Our Prosperity, and Some Suggestions for the Remedy of the Evils Which They Have Entailed on the Colony (1882) and is probably also the author of Christmas on the Briny: The Innocents Abroad, or, A Holiday Trip to the Abrolhos Islands (1909).
