Stefan Von Kotze was born in Germany in 1869 and died in 1909. He was a frequent contributor to THE BULLETIN and other journals both in Australia and abroad in the 'nineties. He wrote in both German and English, and A. G. Stephen said of him that he envied Daley's facility, as it took him days to write a poem. Much of his work was published during his lifetime in Germany in book-form, and not translated or available in English until years later. He was a keen observer with a sense of humor, and his stories are interesting as showing the impact of the Australian bush and bush-life on Continental Europeans.
