Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on August 04, 1960)

Happy Birthday, Tim Winton! May your day be filled with more adventures than Lockie Leonard's teenage escapades and fewer mishaps than the bum-stealing chaos of The Bugalugs Bum Thief. Your stories have taken us from gritty Australian shores to emotional journeys worthy of Booker Prize nods—proving that dirt music can indeed strike a chord.

Here's hoping your birthday is as timeless and memorable as your novels, with celebrations grand enough to rival the suspenseful twists in The Riders. Keep inspiring readers young and old; after all, nobody captures life's quirks quite like you do. Cheers to another chapter!
