But in her early twenties, she left her sleepy hometown of Albury on the NSW\/Victoria border for the bright lights of the Gold Coast, and soon found herself working in a succession of unexciting jobs just to keep up with her now-glamorous lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter spending two years as a frazzled receptionist for an adult entertainment agency, Kellie decided to stop booking the jobs and start taking them. So it was that she found herself travelling to Gove, a mining town in East Arnhem Land, where she had her first stint as a skimpy: a barmaid who wears not much clothing for big money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSkimpies can work in the NT, in WA, in the Hunter Valley of NSW - wherever there's a bunch of blokes with a fly-in fly-out lifestyle who enjoy a cold beer at the end of their shift. Kellie thought her new job would take her all around the country, but she hadn't planned on falling in love - not with Dave, a rough-and-tumble outback character with a big heart and the world's worst four-wheel-drive, and not with the Northern Territory way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut she did, and instead of diamonds and dust, Kellie got crocodiles and denim cut-offs - and a whole lot of stories to tell about a side of outback life that's a long way off the beaten track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkimpy\u003c\/em\u003e by Kellie Arrowsmith reveals her journey from a small-town girl to a skimpy in the Australian outback, capturing the adventures and unexpected romance she encountered along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845781377260,"sku":"9780733634383","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4c0e87cd11bf2e814cddf191d2069c35.jpg?v=1758964382"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/kellie-arrowsmith.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
