Raised in the Melbourne bayside suburb of Mentone, during the 1950’s and 60’s, Murray Hall was, by his own admission, an average student who muddled through thirteen years of schooling whilst maintaining his primary passion of riding a push bike. At eighteen years of age he packed a bag and his bike and went to Europe where, “all the best bike riders were.” A wonderful career in the sport of Cycling followed. Riding professionally for sixteen years, he competed at the highest levels of the European Circuit, winning a prestigious Championship of Berlin and on two occasions was crowned British National Champion. A multiple Australian Champion, he represented his country on many occasions including in 1974, when he was a double Commonwealth Games’ Silver Medallist. On retiring from competition, he went on to serve as a highly respected and regarded administrator of the sport, including being the State Chairman for Western Australia for more than a decade, a national track selector and track commissioner for Cycling Australia. He still maintains ties to the sport in an advisory capacity. His later working life was spent in the manufacturing, building construction and mining industries. While he always had an interest in research and writing, he had never progressed anything to print. Retiring from full-time work in 2017, he took the opportunity to pursue a desire to bring a five-year project to fruition. His first book, Walk a War in My Shoes was published in 2018. Unlikely Barons is his second book. Murray shares a semi-rural property south-east of Perth, Western Australia with his wife and an array of furry friends.
