The Big Fig

Is there ever a good time to confess to adultery?

Lawrence Lalor, Gold Coast surfi e and small town teacher has wandered

through life, drifting and shifting with the wind. Sidestepping a blackmailing

Southern Belle he rebels against life in a Philadelphia dead-end job

and drags his beautiful wife back to the inner city hills of Brisbane.

Why save up for the dream Australian home when you can steal one?

Death and deceit are everywhere when Lawrence lands a job in the

Department of Hatching, Matching and Despatching. Tasked with the

mission of perusing death notices for administrative anomalies, Lawrence

chases the Grim Reaper throughout the Australian countryside.

1999 was the time for Lawrence to take on backpackers, a UFO, drugs, the

Republican Referendum, an ex-lover turned MS sufferer and everyoneís

favourite neighbour ó an axe-wielding, fi g-killing, wannabe property

developer.
