Born in Emerald Hill, Victoria, Erle was the third child of George Henry Cox, a well-respected journalist and owner of the 'Riverina Herald'. Erle followed in his father's footsteps, embarking on a journalistic career that led him to become an editor and a key figure at the 'Argus'. Diversifying into literature, Cox's most celebrated work is the science fiction novel 'Out of the Silence' (1919), a pioneering classic that showcases his visionary ideas and forms a significant part of 'Erle Cox: Collected Works'.
