the man behind rocodiles -A story in sound and words
After working his whole life as an electrical engineer, Ron Pendred found his passion and his talent. The retired chartered professional engineer turned “Rocodiles” songwriter spends his hours composing music and writing books.
The “Rocodiles” album reflects Ron’s passions and joys, and is filled with a range of memorable tunes and evocative lyrics. His favourite song from the 14-track CD – “Star Cross on Blue” – reflects on the Southern Cross and the Australian flag. Originally titled “Star Spangled Blue”, the iconic Austrian track later shed its American influences and became uniquely its own.
Ron and his co-writer David Weir wrote the remainder of the songs on the “Rocodiles” CD, each reflecting a passion and a talent that has been nurtured over a lifetime. Visit our store to own the music for yourself and experience the "Rocodiles" story.

A perfect complementary piece for the 14-track album, the “Rocodiles” book is a true Australian adventure. Written by Ron, the story is set in northern Australia and follows the tale of a small town that is terrorised by a rouge crocodile. The “Rocodiles” book tells the story of the difficult and dangerous battle between the crocodile and the town’s brave citizens.
