About to be launched soon is the much anticipated book about the Northern Territory high profile barrister , Jon Tippett , who spent more than 20 years at the bar .The book has been written by Darwin reporter Paul Toohey , former chief northern correpondent of the Australian.
He was previously a senior writer at the Sydney Bulletin and is the author of three books: God’s Little Acre, Rocky Goes West and The Killer Within. He has won the Graham Perkin journalist of the year award and a Walkley award for magazine feature writing.
Toohey also won a Walkley Award for his first Quarterly Essay, Last Drinks: The Impact of the Northern Territory Intervention.
Crowe grew up on Magnetic Island at Nelly Bay and it is said the beauty and strangeness of the island , combined with her brother's former profession as a skydive tandem master provided the inspiration for the book.
