David Morgan Hits the Pilbara: A Literary Road Trip Through Karratha

David Morgan has been on the road again – this time soaking up the red dust, coastal winds, and local stories of Karratha as he revisits the locations that inspired scenes in his latest book. With camera in hand and flyers in tow, David’s visit was more than a nostalgic trip – it’s part of a growing grassroots push to connect readers with the rugged landscapes and rich history woven through his novel.

Stepping Into the Story

Karratha isn’t just a backdrop in the book – it’s a character in its own right. David spent his time capturing key sites that appear in the novel, offering fans a chance to see the real-world locations that inspired some of the book’s most dramatic scenes.

On Air with ABC Pilbara

While in town, David recorded an interview with ABC Pilbara, set to air one evening next week. The chat dives into his creative process, the local connections behind the novel, and his thoughts on why the Pilbara continues to captivate listeners and travellers alike. Definitely one to tune in for.

Red Earth Library Booking

A standout moment was his visit to Red Earth Library. Not only was the response enthusiastic, but David also secured a tentative date for an Authors Evening in October. The library’s monthly events are popular with locals and visitors alike – a great sign that Karratha readers are keen to engage with the man behind the pages.

Support from the Karratha Tourist Bureau

David also dropped in to see old friends at the Karratha Tourist Bureau – and received a warm welcome. The team there is right behind the book and have agreed to distribute flyers to the steady stream of tourists passing through. With over 60% of travellers reportedly stopping in at the bureau, it’s a brilliant way to spread the word.

Next Stop: Pilbara News

David hopes to connect with Pilbara News before wrapping up his visit. A local feature would help amplify the story even further – not just the one on the shelves, but the ongoing journey of the author and his deep connection to this striking part of the country.

From photo ops to local media, David Morgan’s Karratha visit is proving a powerful chapter in its own right. Keep an eye out for the radio interview, and if you’re in town this October – don’t miss the Author’s Evening at Red Earth Library.
