Hi, I’m Caro. I have pretty bad eyesight—it’s an occupational hazard. I spent my childhood stealing batteries from TV remotes so I could read by torchlight after my parents enforced a sensible bedtime, and most of my professional life revolves around collecting, inventing and elevating stories—mine, or other people’s. 

 

I'm a two-time Walkley Award winning journalist. I co-wrote the Aussie bestseller Larrimah, the Walkley Award-winning podcast series Lost in Larrimah and am the co-author of Writing Feature Stories: How to research and write articles—from listicles to longform. I also co-wrote and co-produced the ABC Landline documentary Outback Musical, and was part of the NT Schools in Crisis team, which uncovered a $200 million shortfall in the Northern Territory, leaving remote Indigenous schools without power, water or full-time teaching. The coverage helped to secure a $1 billion funding boost for the NT, which will be the first jurisdiction to bring all schools up to minimum funding standards in Australia. In 2024, we won the Walkley Award for Indigenous Affairs reporting for this series, published by The Australian. I teach journalism and creative writing at Bond University.
