RIPPER READER: Bitter Wash Road by Garry Disher sets the scene in a small SA country town (not far from where I grew up), and introduces us to Constable Paul ‘Hirsch’ Hirschhausen, whistle-blower cop. The locals mistrust him due to the ‘overzealous policing’ done by his team-members in nearby Redruth, where the officers mistrust him due to his whistle-blowing past. When he investigates a suicide of a prominent local family, he finds himself having to sift through the layers of local lore and social class systems to get to the heart of the matter. An easy-reading 5 stars.

WATCH THIS: The Cars that Ate Paris (1974, M) – Peter Weir’s first major feature film, based on an original story he wrote, is a real Aussie horror classic. Visitors to Paris, Australia, soon discover it’s a town of secrets and shame…that’s if they survive their journey to get there alive! The town’s residents live off the spoils of nearby road accidents, while the doctor conducts medical experiments on any survivors. Filmed in the historic NSW town of Sofala, it’s a ghastly tale of a town without mercy.

WATCH WITH KANOPY: We have a range of documentaries and art house films available for streaming via Kanopy. Kanopy offers access to a large, curated catalogue of educational, entertaining, and enriching films, and is available via an array of apps on the TV, phone, tablet, and computer.
