The Geographical Cure

Sydney, Brisbane, Toowoomba, no matter where they go, they find the same lifestyle. Bent cops, drug dealers, junkie hookers, stealing, lying, conning, just to live. Dubbed Bonnie and Clyde by their social set, they run for their lives.
Two teenage drug addicts try to get straight. They try the geographical cure. This cure involves moving far away from your home to start all over again. They run as far away as they can, outback Australia, Birdsville, Lake Ayer.. But life has a way of catching up with you.

But will they be able to restart their lives?

How do they end up in outback Australia??

Find out in this totally adventurous tale, as our two junkies run away from their family and their homes in Sydney to try the geographical cure.
Partly a glimpse into the life of drug addiction. Partly road trip. Partly a thriller.

# Pre-Publish Reader Review
It's a damn good story! Is it a thriller? Is it crime? Is it a fairytale?
I give it five stars for the vivid procession of people, the bent copper, the predators of the drug world, the kind folk; for the wonderfully realized places, the street world of those without privilege, the limitless outback, the great dry lake suddenly wet; for the surprises; and perhaps most of all for the compassion which the storyteller insists we feel for all these imperfect people, centrally the all too human, tough, amusing, lovable teenage pair, babes in a dark wood who still seek patches of sunlight. Yes, a damn good story. Drug addiction is a life-destroying tragedy, a tarpit. So easy to slip almost innocently into; so unbelievably difficult to climb out of. Our storyteller shows it all without flinching yet with a wonderful human sympathy. I give this story five stars--I'm not the old misery that will withhold half a star for stylistic idiosyncrasies.
