In Conversation with Geoff Parks at Mildura Library

Next date: Thursday, 26 February 2026 | 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Born and raised in rural New Zealand, Geoff Parkes now calls Melbourne home. For the past 12 years, he has written a weekly opinion column for The Roar, Australia’s leading sports website, and has recently turned his talents to crime writing.

Join us for a conversation as we explore Geoff's journey and discuss his latest book, The First Law of the Bush.

It’s a beautiful day to be alive, Bill Dickerson thought, seconds before he tumbled from the viaduct onto the jagged rocks below…

His awful death made national news and one year on, Bill’s widow, Carol, has received no explanation about what happened. Was it suicide? An accident? Murder?

Carol hires lawyer Ryan Bradley in her fight for answers. Ryan has returned to the remote town of Nashville after 10 years and he’s in no position to turn down work.

In small towns, nothing is quite what it seems - and for one Nashville resident - the wrong question will come at a deadly price.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Free event. Bookings are encouraged!
