John Aldrick graduated from Melbourne University with
a degree in Agricultural Science and a post-graduate
Diploma of Education. He taught in secondary schools, and
later gained a master“s degree in Tropical Geomorphology
from the University of New England. He worked in State and
Territory government departments across Australia and in
the CSIRO, then as a freelance consultant with international
consulting companies around the underdeveloped world as
a natural resources specialist.
In the course of his career he worked in every State
of Australia except South Australia, a proportion of it
involving field work in remote terrain using 4WD vehicles
and helicopters, with a team of Australian staff. He also
worked in many underdeveloped countries with different
nationalities in challenging environments where the normal
order of Western countries didn“t apply and has had many
extraordinary experiences. Some of these events were
seriously dangerous, but many were unusual and incredibly
funny. A selection of humorous stories from within Australia
and in other countries, all of them true, are recorded in
this book.
The author spent many years domiciled in Darwin and
on the sunshine coast, and lives in his favourite State of
Queensland.
