Binks was born in 1931 and has lived in Tasmania since the 1940s.

His teaching posts included The Hutchins School in Hobart, and vice principal at Don College in Devonport.

His interest in Western Tasmania led him to write Explorers of Western Tasmania, a significant history of exploration of the region, Pioneers of the West Coast, and a later work Hills of the West Wind.

He has also written about Bass Strait and Devonport.

Binks was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in the 2023 King's Birthday Honours for "service to secondary education, and to literature".
