Daniel Bowen (born 1970[citation needed]) is an Australian blogger who resides in Melbourne.
He is best known for having been the president of the Public Transport Users Association (PTUA), and the author of the blog, Diary of an Average Australian.
TCWF started out as a humour journal covering and parodying subjects such as religion, science fiction, history and technology, but over the years it has gradually changed into a diary, and today is mostly a compilation of the passing week's blog posts.
Bowen is also a prominent advocate for improved public transport in Melbourne, in particular as a former president of the PTUA, a position he held from 2003 to 2012, and he continues to be a frequent media commentator and blogger on public transport issues.
On 17 September 2012, he announced that he would not seek re-election as PTUA president at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Association.
