George Augustine Taylor (1872-1928) was an Australian artist, journalist, and inventor. He first became known as an artist, and was a member of the Sydney Bohemian set in the 1890s, whose doings he was afterwards to record in his Those Were the Days, a volume of reminiscences published in 1918. He contributed drawings to The Bulletin, Worker, Sunday Times, Referee, and London Punch, but later became interested in aviation and radio, and did some remarkable work in connection with them. He experimented with a motorless aeroplane and, in 1909, constructed one of full size. He had founded the aerial league in 1909 and the wireless institute in 1911. Taylor had for many years before this conducted a successful monthly trade journal called Building, of which he was proprietor and editor. Gradually other magazines were added, including the Australasian Engineer, the Soldier, the Commonwealth Home, and the Radio Journal of Australasia. He was much interested in town-planning, and published in 1914 Town Planning for Australia and in 1918 Town Planning With Common-Sense.
