BiographyHistory

Robyn Ravlich was born into a Yugoslav-Australian family in Broken Hill, New South Wales. She later moved to Sydney. John Tranter (1978): 79 comments: 'Both Vicki Viidikas and Robyn Ravlich were associated with the early Balmain days of the new writing; but wrote out of a clear awareness of their female roles as poets ...' As a young poet and performance artist Ravlich joined the Australian Broadcasting Commission in the 1970s as a specialist trainee. She had studied Fine Arts, English and Education at the University of Sydney where she had worked as a tutor in Environmental Design and as a part-time lecturer in Post Object Art and Intermedia in the Faculty of Architecture. Ravlich has worked as a writer and broadcaster including being the producer for ABC Radio's The Listening Room. She was the organizer of the 27th International Feature Conference hosted in Sydney by ABC Radio in 2001 and was also President of the Radio Documentary jury of the Prix Italia held in Bologna in 2001. In 2002 her documentary about asylum seekers: On the Raft, All at Sea, was awarded the Human Rights Radio Award for 2002 and the United Nations Association of Australia Media Peace Prize for Radio 2002.
