About The Author

Rick Furphy

Rick Furphy and Geoff Rissole are two of Australasia’s leading self-appointed experts on sociology, travel and culture. After cutting their teeth as investigative reporters for regional newspapers such as the Asbestos Times and the Gawler Growler, Furphy and Rissole released their bestselling *Sht Towns of Australia, which won the Poolitzer Prize, the Poobody Award and the Nobel Prize for Shiterature.

The pair’s work has attracted controversy - including one district mayor suggesting they be shot - but in the spirit of other true Aussie rebels like Ned Kelly, the Eureka diggers and Swino the pig, Rick Furphy and Geoff Rissole refuse to let naysayers deter them from their vital work.
