Early Life
Lyne was born at Apslawn, Tasmania. He was the eldest son of John Lyne, a property owner, who was later a member of the Tasmanian House of Assembly from 1880 – 1893. He was educated at Horton College, Ross, and subsequently by a private tutor. He left Tasmania aged 20 to take up land in northern Queensland, but finding the climate did not suit him, returned to Tasmania a year later. He became a clerk at Glamorgan Council. After 10 years, Lyne left for the mainland again in 1875 and took up land at Cumberoona near Albury, New South Wales.

“In everyone there sleeps
A sense of life lived according to love.
To some it means the difference they could make
By loving others, but across most it sweeps
As all they might have done had they been loved.
That nothing cures.”
