Adventures of a true Aussie larrikin.
Rod Halsted has lived a life most wouldn’t dare to imagine. As soon as he could leave school, he headed straight to Kalgoorlie for adventure. Not that he needed to cross the country: adventure always finds Rod, and he loves to take a risk. Rod drank with Bob Hawke, was rescued from the nick by Charles Waterstreet, hung with one of the Great Train Robbers, and wrote off endless cars. Then it all caught up with him. He has long since abandoned the drugs and conquered his alcohol addiction. In his memoir, Take my advice, I’m not using it!, he takes you on a wild ride through addiction, crime, and redemption - all wrapped in the irreverent humour of a true Aussie larrikin.
Book sales and signings available.
In conversation with renowned former ABC journalist Nicole Chvastek.
