Hi
Radio 4BC
Brisbane just had an interview with a woman called Lorraine who has extensive bush travel experience (in a Toyota) and has written 2 books Warts "N" All & A Pussies Tale, (spelling could be wrong).
She talked of fishing with the Outback Killer Bradley John Murdoch, but I only heard bits of the interview and it sounded like her books could be worth reading, but work got in way and I didn't get too many details between phone calls.
She may be a famous member here and I'll look like an idiot not knowing that, but that's a chance I'm willing to take.
Does anyone got any idea who she is or where the books are available from?
Cheers

Well www.fishpond.com.au turend this up:
Warts n' All
By Lorraine Welch
fishpond is an Australian online book store that is usually quite good on the obscure, at least for me that is.
And Google came up with this on Lorraine Welch,

Feral - 1) Dan Sharp 2) Lorraine Welch 3) Sammy Hart
4X4 - 1) Grant Cawthorne 2) Lorraine Welch 3) Quinton Kessner

Don't know if that makes you any wiser but hey, it's somewhere to start!

Interview online here
Not sure how long they will leave it there. Interesting. Her books are only available from the author. Her phone number is in the interview.

Thanks Geoff, for both the book site and her surname.
Should make more research easier.
Cheers

Sounds like an idyllic lifestyle
That Auntie said the AB was the worst road she has been on...and she got 5 punctures along it as
well.
