Caro is a writer, journalist and digital journalism lecturer at the University of Queensland. She spends most of her free time sweating in far-flung remote outback areas looking for interesting stories — she is the co-writer of the Walkley Award-winning podcast Lost in Larrimah and the Australian bestseller Larrimah, and the co-writer/co-producer of ABC Landline documentary Outback Musical. She spent most of her childhood with a nose buried in a book, and now she works with Somerset Storyfest to help other kids find and fall in love with stories. She lives on the Gold Coast with her partner, a demanding Border Collie and a kitten who would make a great ninja. Her dream is to have a bookcase with a ladder one day.
