Life on a cattle station in Australia's unforgiving Northern Territory is rough. The extreme heat, humidity, insects, dust, isolation, and predators forge impenetrable bonds among those who can survive here. The people are just as hardened--and just as unforgiving--as the wild lands they fight to tame. In 1987, Clare Daine, a schoolteacher from Melbourne, takes up the job of governess to identical triplets at the Opium Creek station. She's shocked to discover that the "homestead" is little more than an old tin shed with limited electricity. Her employer, Jack Marlow, a narcissistic alcoholic, is extremely demanding, and the other men of the station are as raw around the edges as the station itself. Three years before Clare's arrival, the triplets' mother, Lily, disappeared during a brutal wet-season storm. Now, doubt has left the close-knit community nervous, suspicious, and aggrieved. When Wanatjiti, Lily's renegade stallion, returns, old wounds are opened, and unanswered questions rise again. Ngunintja, the triplets' grandmother, has her own theories about what really happened during that fateful storm. And now nightmares tear Clare's sleep apart. Her dedication to the children is the only thing that keeps her from fleeing the horrors of this life. Slowly, she comes to understand the love-hate relationship they all share with each other and with the land itself. Clare's single-minded determination to discover the truth behind Lily's disappearance puts her own safety at risk. How far will she go to solve the mystery?

Jackaroo; n. a male station hand. That is according to the "Australian Slang Dictionary' whereas the Macquarie Dictionary gives a more realistic version. " A jack of all trades". Certainly a jackaroo is far more than 'a male station hand', which will be evident as the reader moves through this recount of the writer's five years of 'Station Management Apprenticeship"', possibly a more precise definition of the word. ('Station" being a large sheep and/or cattle property/ranch). The origin of the word 'jackaroo' has been debated as long as the word has been in existence, but the most popular belief is that early English migrants, who worked on stations in the Australian Outback, were given the name of "Jack Raw", being raw to the ways of the Australian bush. One such English migrant, whose name was Jack Carew may have had an influence on the foundation of the word. There is also the more recent female counterpart, known as a jillaroo. It is however, generally agreed that the word has no connection with the famed Australian icon, the kangaroo.

RANDY AND ROUGH, HE'S A MEAN MOUNTAIN MAN WITH A NOSE FOR TROUBLE AND HANKERIN’ FOR HOT BEAVER! Holed up at a trappers' camp when the winter snow hits, Jack Pike and his ornery trail pard Skins McConnell found good shelter for their hides, and enough cheap whiskey and willin' women to keep them busy until the thaw. But when spring came, Pike pulled together a band of mountain men to run their fur down the Missouri for the fleshpots and trading posts in the city of St. Joe. His long gun primed and cocked, Pike had more hot action than most men could handle. By day, he had the perils of a raging river and bloody troubles with renegade Crow indians at each bend. By night, there were the sure, swift strokes of his dark-haired trail beauty who kept his course straight and his strength up. Then, just shy of port, Cal Devers and his lowdown gang ambushed them. Pumping big-bore bullets fast and furious, the big mountain man brought the deadly fight to a powerful climax of outlaw blood!

A unique, authentic novel of friendship and brotherhood, based on the author' s long years droving on stock routes of inland Australia. Herb Wharton, former drover, now celebrated author, unleashes a strikingly original vision of outback Australia. From the riotous picnic races to the famous Mt Isa rodeo, from childhood in the yumba to gutsy outback pubs, Unbranded presents a rollicking cast of stockmen, shearers, barmaids and tourists. At its heart this novel is the story of three men: Sandy is a white man; Bindi, a Murri; Mulga is related on his mother's side to Bindi, and on his Irish father's side to Sandy. Their lives and enduring friendship cover forty years in the mulga country of the far west. Unbranded recounts how Sandy achieves his dream of owning a cattle empire, how Bindi regains part of his tribal lands for his people, and how Mulga finally sits down to write about their shared experiences.

'Once again Harper leaves you gagging to know who did what' Evening Standard 'Places Harper in the elevated company of the authors she most admires: Val McDermid, Gillian Flynn and Lee Child' Daily Mail 'Powerful, intriguing and recommended...Harper is wonderful at evoking fear and unease' The Times Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them. Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side. The hike through the rugged landscape is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistleblower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with. Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew.
