Zoom Meeting, Jock Serong

A Suitable Man, Remarkable and Fascinating!

Sep 22, 2026

 

From multi-award-winning author Jock Serong comes a fascinating biography of the remarkable Fletcher Jones. In 1924, into the tiny town of Warrnambool, which then had a population of a fraction under 4000 people, there came a travelling salesman... Many Australians know of Fletcher Jones - the stores, the clothing, the daggy dad slacks - but few know the extraordinary man behind it all.   
 
Jock Serong is the author of seven novels and now a biography of Fletcher Jones. A former criminal barrister, he was also the founding editor of Great Ocean Quarterly, writes widely for media and for screen, and has a PhD in Creative Writing. Jock is a board member of Melbourne's Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas, and he also teaches aspiring authors, and works with judges on their writing through the Victorian and national judicial colleges.

'First Light Racing (FLR) specialises in racehorse ownership, personally selecting and sourcing great quality yearlings in partnership with an exclusive selection of trainers to offer people the chance to share ownership in racehorses and experience the great thrill of racing'.

'Tim has lived and breathed the gold and blue since he left a consulting career to set up First Light Racing over a 14yrs ago. Passionate about giving owners the best possible experience, chasing winners and sharing elite level success with the First Light family, he’s the fearless leader and the excitable ideas man of #TeamFIRST. If Tim was a racehorse, he’d be like a Gai Waterhouse front runner - pinging out of the gates, off the bit and leading at all costs'.
