Alfred Douglas "Alf" Stewart is a fictional character on the Australian soap opera Home and Away. The character has been played by actor Ray Meagher since the pilot episode in 1988, and is one of the last remaining cast members.
Alf primarily works at the Summer Bay Surf Life Saving Club (the "surf club") behind the bar, and also owns a bait shop and takes part in recreational fishing.
He is commonly known for his use of declining Australian slang with sayings such as "strewth", "stone the flamin' crows", "flaming mongrels", "flaming galah", "flaming heck", "Give me strength", and "fair crack of the whip".
He is a strong pillar of the community and is on the Surf Club Committee.
Family and Relationships
Alf previously was married to Ailsa Hogan before her death in 2000, and more recently found an interest in Bridget Simmons after being set-up together by his half-sister Colleen and his niece Martha. However, it was soon discovered that Bridget was purely it in for his money, and was a serial fraudster. Alf found out about Bridget's true colours after Leah Patterson-Baker's son VJ was kidnapped by Bridget's ex-lover and co-fraudster, Brian.
Characters Ric Dalby (who now lives interstate), and Martha MacKenzie are his grandchildren, and after a large look at the history of the family, Colleen Smart was found to be his half-sister.
