About this listen
Rod Halsted is the classic irrepressible Aussie larrikin. 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.
This is his laugh-out-loud story.

'A wild, brawling and regularly hilarious tale of a country boy's descent into the vicious Australian and international drug-running underworld, into near madness ... and on to redemption. Frighteningly, it's all true.' (Tony Wright, associate editor and special writer for The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald)
'A wild country kid who hit the road to find himself and found crime instead ... He took crazy risks with deadly crooks and lived to see the funny side of a reckless life.' (Andrew Rule, journalist and co-author of Underbelly)
