Croc Country
From the bestselling author of The Roadhouse comes Croc Country, a suspenseful outback mystery about the wild and dangerous things
that can happen in the most remote and untamed corners of our country.
Young widow Tilly is a housekeeper and cook for the rangers at a wildlife sanctuary. But when the police come asking after her husband,
she begins to question what really happened to her family.
Set against the lush backdrop of Gulf Country with its vibrant yet deadly wildlife, Kerry taps into her years of experience to discuss:
• Strong women in the rural workforce – from rangers to graziers to cooks, Kerry champions women in all roles of rural living.
• The importance of wildlife conservation - the lasting effects of the bushfires and our current climate have scarred the land and its fauna.
• Simple and sustainable living - Kerry has lived off the land her whole life. With her knowledge as a gardener, cook and shepherd, Croc Country illustrates the ways we can look to a simpler and more sustainable lifestyle.
• Isolation – A condition new to us, but familar to Kerry as she would be isolated for 3 months every monsoon season in Gulf Country.
She can share the ways she learned to adapt to this. From Australia's beloved voice of the bush, Croc Country is a gripping mystery about family secrets, finding love, and when the people you know are deadlier than the wildlife.
