Matt Dray (Author)

Matt Dray was inspired to write the story of Dougal when they met while Matt was working at a garbage dump on the Gold Coast. All the photographs that illustrate Dougal the Garbage Dump Bear have been taken by Matt. All the other dump toys, except for Big Bear, were found there also and the dragon ended up on its side courtesy of Matt. Matt Dray currently lives in Queensland.
