Her first book 'Horseplay' led her to the world of Bush Poetry and success followed success.
In 2004, Carol won the richest prize in poetry history - a Case JX55 Tractor valued at $34,000.00! Three top selling books to date, two award winning CD's and five Australian Bush Laureate awards are to her credit, including 'Performer of the Year'.
