John Bernard O'Hara (29 October 1862 – 31 March 1927) was an Australian poet and schoolmaster.[1]
O'Hara was born in Bendigo, Victoria, to schoolteacher Patrick Knight O'Hara (1840-1921).[2] Patrick was also the editor and part proprietor of the Chiltern Leader.[3]
His mother was Mary Ann (Connolly) O'Hara (1846-1895).[4] His sisters Elizabeth O'Hara and Annie O'Hara were both doctors.[3] They were famous for being two of the seven women who enrolled at the University of Melbourne Medical School in 1887, and together becoming the first women admitted to the faculty, and subsequently the first women to graduate as doctors in Australia.[5]
