The story features fascinating archival material and ranges from Perth to The Kimberly. PLUS: Slow Business: From Melbourne the story of a Czech immigrant who has made a successful business from marketing pests - she's taken the common garden snail and put it on the menu in restaurants around the country. She says she gets very attached to them, but when they have to go, at least they only go to the very best establishments. PLUS: The Butcher's Pen: We move between Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Queensland's Gold Coast to chronicle the life of Bob Barrett. Bob was a butcher until a lump of meat fell on him and damaged his back. He took up writing and is now the best selling crime novelist in the country. He is highly entertaining, buckets the literary world and is decidedly politically incorrect. Written by Australian Story See less
