Creed O'Hanlon is a working navigator and occasional writer whose essays and short stories have been included in Best Australian Stories 2004, Best Australian Essays 2005, and A Revealed Life: Australian Writers And Their Journeys In Memoir.

He lives afloat in Asia, where he's studying the viability of self-reliant, water-borne communities that ‘tread lightly' on the sea.

Creed O'Hanlon was once described by Triple J Radio as "the Malcolm McLaren of the web". A genuine polymath, he has been a regular contributor to Griffith REVIEW.
