'Raymond Curtis came from one of the earliest European families to settle on Tamborine Mountain. He pursued various occupations, including builder, farmer, laboratory technician, mailman, professional musician and park ranger. Mostly he lived on Tamborine Mountain, although he spent periods elsewhere. He founded the Tamborine Mountain Choral Society in 1953, and the Tamborine Mountain Youth Orchestra in 1974.
'He wrote music, poetry and memoir. Calanthe Press helped compile Raymond’s self-published volume The View Westward: Tamborine Mountain Poems in 2017.'
