George Michell Farwell (3 October 1911 – 6 August 1976) was an English-born Australian novelist, freelance journalist, broadcaster and travel writer.
He lost both his parents at about the same time, and after struggling to make a living in Depression-era London, he left for an eighteen-month expedition to French Polynesia.
Although Farwell experienced a number of lean years in Sydney, he kept on writing about the various experiences he had on the job, as well as on his travels to various parts of the world.
His first book, Down Argent Street, telling the story of Broken Hill, New South Wales, was published in 1948.
His articles and short stories have appeared in numerous publications, including The Bulletin and Walkabout.
