}}H. A. Lindsay (1900–1969) was an Australian writer for children who was born in Hyde Park, South Australia.[1]

He travelled widely in Australia before working as a commercial bee-keeper and farmer leading up to the Second World War. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in 1942 and rose to warrant officer, class one, in the Australian Army Education Service where he taught the bushcraft he had learned on his pre-war travels.[2]

After the war he became a full-time writer and broadcaster, writing regular columns for the Melbourne Age and Adelaide Sunday Advertiser newspapers.[2]

He wrote five novels for adults and was awarded the Older Readers for his work The First Walkabout which he wrote with Norman B Tindale and published in 1954.[3]

He died in Highgate, South Australia in 1969.[1]
