Colin Milton Thiele AC (; 16 November 1920 – 4 September 2006) was an Australian author and educator. He was renowned for his award-winning children's fiction, most notably the novels ''Storm Boy'', ''Blue Fin'', the ''Sun on the Stubble'' series, and ''February Dragon''.
== Biography ==
Thiele was born in Eudunda in South Australia to a Barossa German family. The young Colin only spoke German until he went to school in Julia Creek.〔(Postcards – Feature – Eudunda – Colin Thiele Country )〕 He was educated at several country schools including Kapunda High School before studying at the University of Adelaide, graduating in 1941. He later taught in high schools and colleges.(Port Lincoln) http://www.library.unisa.edu.au/about/collections/thiele/biography.aspx
Thiele enlisted in the Australian Army in December 1940, and was posted to the 18th Light Horse (Machine Gun) as a private.〔(ARMY: Thiele, Colin Milton ) – World War Two Nominal Roll. Retrieved 25 September 2012.〕 He transferred to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in July 1942, serving out the remainder of the war as a corporal posted to Air Defence Headquarters, Higgins, at the tip of the Cape York Peninsula.〔(RAAF: Thiele, Colin Milton ) – World War Two Nominal Roll. Retrieved 25 September 2012.〕
Thiele wrote more than 100 books, which often described life in rural Australia, particularly the Eudunda, Barossa Valley, and Murray River/Coorong regions of South Australia. Several of his books have been made into films or television series, including ''Sun on the Stubble'', ''The Fire in the Stone'', ''Blue Fin'' and ''Storm Boy.
In 1977 he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, the second highest level of the order, for his services to literature and education.
Thiele suffered from severe arthritis from 1955 and in his later years left South Australia to settle in warmer conditions near Dayboro, Queensland.
In 1986 he returned to South Australia for a family (the Wittwer family) reunion organised by Cheryal Wittwer, after which he returned to Queensland.
On 4 September 2006 Thiele died from heart failure in a Brisbane hospital, aged 85.〔 〕 He was survived by his wife, Rhonda, two children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Media coverage of his death was minimal, as he had died on the same day as Australian media personality Steve Irwin.
