Cameron was born at Dunedin in 1921 and worked a country schoolteacher who was famous locally for writing musicals.[2] He was educated at Waitaki Boys' High School[3] and made his representative debut for Otago at the age of 32―Wisden said "belatedly"―taking two wickets on debut, conceding just 30 runs from 32 overs.[2] He died in 1997 at Clyde in Central Otago at the age of 75. Obituaries were published in the 1997 New Zealand Cricket Almanack and in Wisden the following year.[2][3]
