About this ebook
A laugh-out-loud, true-to-life tale of a novice cook in an outback geological field camp in north Queensland, set in the 1980s. Inexperienced and pregnant, Cynthia discovers a wild world of eccentric geologists and their pig-shooting, beer-swilling field hands. She is in for a steep learning c

Carolyn Lang was originally from Queensland. Past jobs ranged from geological field camp cooking, the inspiration for 'Fossils, Ferals and Flies', to nursing, to technical editing, to continence advising (her least favourite role). When writing reports on people's bowel function and editing lengthy data descriptions became tedious she began turning some of her more interesting experiences into fiction. Carolyn has found that fiction is a useful tool, but that truth is often far more intriguing. A good story lurks behind every suburban hedge. She also thinks that it is freeing to embrace our flaws and foibles and accept that absurdity is part of the human condition, and that humour is as essential to health and wellbeing as good food. Although she likes to live surrounded by book shelves with at least one cat, she gets out into the wider and wilder world when she can. Carolyn currently lives in Perth, Western Australia with her husband, Simon Lang, and the cat.
