Salt Runs Through

Mark Rafidi, surfer, teacher, and author, navigates life between the waves and words on Murramarang Country of the NSW south coast. Coming from mixed heritage, his stories explore identity, belonging, and the intricacies of Australian society.

A published author of three books, Mark delves into diverse genres. He interviewed picture book creators in Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, crafted a nuanced portrait of displacement in his creative nonfiction novel Ishmael's Oud, and unleashed a young adult adventure in The Library at the Edge of the World.
