Hart-Smith was connected with the Jindyworobak Movement and had some of his work, such as ''Columbus Goes West'' (1943), published by them. However he spent only a decade in Australia, returning to New Zealand in 1946. From 1948 to 1954 he taught in adult education.
He spent several years in Perth from the late 1960s, associating with younger poets including Andrew Lansdown, Hal Colebatch and Lee Knowles. He was a prolific writer of poetry into old age, though many of his later poems have never been collected. He was also a distinguished conchologist, specialising in classifying cowrie shells. He said he had come to Perth from Sydney to find unpolluted water for shelling.
He was awarded the ALS Gold Medal in 1960, and won the Patrick White Award in 1987. He died in 1990. Provided by Wikipedia
