Back cover info:
Australia's stark Outback, with its ferocious crocodiles, eccentric opal miners, savage koalas, bloodthirsty wild pigs, cantankerous camels and voracious beer drinkers, still remains to be tamed. But not by Kenneth Cook.
In THE KILLER KOALA, he has put together a selection of hilarious stories culled from his own experiences while travelling all over Australia, from the red deserts and jungles to remote parts of the Barrier Reef.
He says that every incident described happened as it is related, but that he has never dared include them in his novels because the stories are incredible. And precisely because they are all perfectly true, he doesn't expect anybody to believe them.
The New York Times has described Kenneth Cook as a 'master storyteller'. His nineteen novels, including bestseller WAKE IN FRIGHT, are now joined by a classic collection of stories that give a wry, panic-stricken look at Australia's last frontier.
