Richard Harrison is an Australian author and speaker.

He resides on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, having lived (for ten years) in England, where he launched and established the iconic Australian garden maintenance franchise - Jim's Mowing throughout the UK.

His hilarious gardening misadventures became the subject of his first book -The Export Gardener, before he wrote the novel - First Tuesday, a murder mystery set against the backdrop of the Melbourne Cup.

Richard’s latest book - Stumped: One Cricket Umpire, Two Countries, is a very funny and truly unique memoir of his fifteen year umpiring career, in both England and Australia.

He is currently writing a book entitled Quando, Quondo, Quando: Learning Italian late in life.

An entertaining speaker, Richard is available to attend corporate, social and fundraising events throughout Australia.
