BiographyHistory

Charles Chomley studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1891. In 1893, with a group of friends and relatives, he moved to the King River area of Victoria. Returning to Melbourne in 1900, he edited the weekly Arena until it ceased publication in 1904. Chomley returned to England where he edited the British Australasian from 1908 until his death in 1942.

Chomley also published books on law, taxation, protection and free trade, and a number of pamphlets. He wrote the lyrics for 'Australia', set to music by Evan Marsden (London: British Australasian, 1924). On the title page of Mark Meredith, Chomley is listed as the author of 'The Long Lost Galleon', a work serialised in the Australian Journal in 1905; no separate publication has been traced.

Chomley is the uncle of Martin Boyd (q.v.).
