| | y Kerry Cue studied Science/Engineering at Melbourne University and taught maths and science for 10 demanding years before becoming a best selling author of 18 humorous and thought provoking books including Life On a G-String, Australia Unbuttoned and I Left My Heart in Chinkapook and my Knickers in New York. Her first book, Crooks, Chooks and Bloody Ratbags, an unreliable guide to her childhood, won one of the few awards ever offered in this country for humorous writing at Adelaide Arts Festival in 1983. In her latest book, Forgotten Wisdom, A Search for the Lost Art of Happiness Cue maps her haphazard journey back from the dark zone to seeing the funnyside of life again. She has written for radio (A Letter to Alan Border became a classic of backyard cricket and was recorded on an Australia All Over CD with Macca) and TV, notably The Comedy Company. She has written for every major newspaper in Australia including The Australian, The West Australian, The Advertiser (SA), The Sydney Morning Herald , The Daily Telegraph(NSW), the Herald Sun(Vic), The Age (Vic) ,The Canberra Times(ACT) and The Courier Mail (Qld). She wrote for Home Beautiful, among other magazines, for 5 years until they saw inside her house. She has made numerous recordings for the ABC and appeared on many radio and TV chat shows over the years including a stint on The Einstein Factor brains trust panel where 5 years of university education and 10 years of teaching high school science finally paid off when she knew that an echidna was a monotreme! An electrifying speaker with over 25 years experience, Kerry combines humour and insight in her keynote addresses and workshops so that participants not only leave her presentations laughing but also armed with refreshing and creative ideas on how to rethink and renew attitudes to work, love and life.
