Hung Out to Dry: Not Your Washing, but Your Future (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781312457614)

A small town fights global mining interests. The only thing hotter than Warunga-the-town was the desert beyond and the mood at Girdle's Community Hall on disappointment night. 50 degrees-in-the-shade and hope was dying along with the water table, the livestock and the energy supply. Warunga had been hung out to dry by the Government and it's 1200 residents were cooking dirt for dinner. This is a story with plenty of heroes. Mayor Harry Turnhill was a calm and thoughtful man who hated lazy Government as much as he hated Big Energy and killing time in Vietnam. Chantelle Ugnomundungra hated men who drank and did something about it . . Inspector Boris Broad wanted a clean environmentally friendly Gold Coast Police Service . . . Claudia Nirvana was pure heart and ice as she moped up extraction executives like cow-cakes . . and so it goes . . As a man falls 16 stories through a Surfers Paradise atrium window in a do-nothing 4 star - a greed-cell in London's financial square mile goes after Warunga. Settle back for a gripping intermesh of humour and suspense and the advent of environmental war.
