Withers landed in Victoria (Australia) in 1852, and after various other employments, was engaged in Melbourne as a journalist until June 1855, when he took up his residence at Ballarat. In addition to his work on the Ballarat Times, Ballarat Star, and Ballarat Courier, he has written several works of fiction. His novel "Eustace Hopkins" was published in the Sydney Echo and Ballarat Courier, and was awarded second place in The Age competition of a hundred and twenty competitors, and "The Westons" was published in the Melbourne World and Federal Australian. His other works are the "History of Ballarat," the "Ballarat Chronicles and Pictures," and his "Reminiscences of the '50s and '60s."[2]

Withers died on 14 July 1913 in Dulwich Hill, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; he was buried in Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney.[1]
