[Author event] Rod Halsted

Join local author Rod Halsted on a wild ride through addiction, crime and redemption as he discusses his new memoir, 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑀𝑦 𝐴𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒, 𝐼’𝑚 𝑁𝑜𝑡 𝑈𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑡.

Rod 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, did business with drug tsars, 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.

Rod’s memoir is a ripper yarn of a country boy’s descent into the seedy underbelly of 1970s and ‘80s Australia, all wrapped in the irreverent humour of a true Aussie larrikin.

This event will include a Q&A, followed by book sales and signings.

Bookings required.
