Geoff Elliott's Bio
Geoff has reported for The Australian since 1999 but has clocked up more than 19 years in journalism. This includes a four year stint in London (1992-95) covering Eastern Europe 's transition after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Geoff also spent a year in Africa, reporting on South Africa 's transition from apartheid to democracy. Apart from The Australian, his work has appeared in many Australian and international publications, including The Australian Financial Review, The Economist and New York-based Institutional Investor magazine. Geoff's experiences in Africa led to his first book, The Other Brother: The Search for Simon Holmes à Court (Allen & Unwin), a tale about the mysterious disappearance of the brother of Australia 's famous tycoon Robert Holmes à Court. A recipient of a Walkley Award in 2003, Australia 's premier journalism award, Geoff moved to Washington with his wife Nikki and two children. Their third was born in September in Washington . Geoff grew up in Perth and Bunbury , Western Australia , and has a Bachelor of Economics degree from University of Western Australia . He started his career in 1987 at The West Australian. And he says the only drawback to his Washington gig is that it keeps him from his great love: surfing. Andre Stein
