Driver’s Holiday

Entertaining, fun and light hearted

Tourism in Bali in the 70s was in its infancy as was Albert Driver’s employment as a tour leader.

After a confidence boost stemming from his time with lovely Bethleen Steele, and the help of Sudi (his beautiful Balinese assistant), Albert led a motley group of Australian salesman on a life-changing tour.

 

A beautiful but mysterious island, the group had to overcome disease, unhappy deities and bursts of undisciplined behaviour from some members to finish the tour.

About the Author

 

Bill Taylor has lived most of his life in South Australia, either in Adelaide or on Kangaroo Island. He has also spent extended times away from Australia, including in France, where this tale was first written, and in Indonesia, particularly Bali, the location of most of the action.

He first went to Bali when tourists were a novelty and children would line up to cheer motor cyclists passing through their village. Certainly not the case now. He practised as a lawyer for much of his adult life and is now retired.

He has been married for more than fifty years to Caroline, who surely must be a saint. They have two adult children and five grandchildren.

An unlikely meeting that will change the course of their lives forever

Maggie and Larry are an unlikely couple down on their luck. Reduced to living in a squat, they find that by gate-crashing funerals they can gain a feed.

Just how big, is hard to tell.

Spin

Geoff Stradling likes to think he’s one of the good guys. And it’s important to stay stoic in the face of a few challenges. So what if the company he’s working for shows dubious business ethics? Or that his boss is a back-stabbing narcissist? Or that his girlfriend is happily rid of him? Let’s not mention getting overlooked for that promotion. The less said about that, the better.

But his dream job is just around the corner. Maybe a couple of tweaks to his CV are required, but who cares? Money. Power. It might just go to his head. 

He can have it all… for the price of his soul.

Spin  is a cynically funny look at marketing and corporate ethics. It’s accompanied by questionable business tactics, cheap giveaways and the most gripping final chapter you will ever read.*

Rich Dark Chocolate Cake

Anecdotal stories as experienced and/or seen by a typical Australian Larrikin.
