Whilst recuperating from his wounds in London he was introduced to Katharine Susannah Prichard, who later became a famous Australian author and socialist.
The novels were Working Bullocks (1926), which dramatised the physical and emotional traumas of timber workers in the karri country of Australia's south-west, and Coonardoo (1929), a sensitive and often poetic novel which became notorious for its candid portrayal of relationships between white men and black women in the north-west.

Prichard moved with her husband, war hero Hugo "Jim" Throssell, VC, to Greenmount, Western Australia, in 1920 and lived at 11 Old York Road for much of the rest of her life.

The 1996 Australian film Shine depicts the close correspondence between Prichard and Australian pianist David Helfgott.
