Betrayed by her husband, Annabelle Beck retreats from Melbourne to her old family home in tropical North Queensland where she meets Bo Rennie, one of the Jangga tribe. Intrigued by Bo's claim that he holds the key to her future, Annabelle sets out with him on a path of recovery that leads back to her childhood and into the Jangga's ancient heartland, where their grandparents' lives begin to yield secrets that will challenge the possibility of their happiness together. With the consummate artistry of a novelist working at the height of his powers, Miller convinces us that the stone country is not only a remote and exotic location in North Queensland, but is also an unvisited place within each of us. Journey to the Stone Country confirms Miller's reputation as one of Australia's most intelligent and uncompromising writers.

South Australia, 1919. Ross Grant has always felt like the black sheep of his wealthy Scottish family. An explorer at heart, he dreams of life on Waybell, their remote cattle station in Australia's last remaining wilderness, the Northern Territory. Then his brother Alastair is branded a deserter after going missing during the Great War. To help restore the Grants' damaged reputation, Ross is coerced into marrying Darcey Thomas, a woman he has never met. Disgusted by his manipulative family, he turns his back on his unwanted wife just hours after the ceremony, and heads to Waybell with no plans to return. He carries with him the hope of carving his own empire in the far north. But Ross has not counted on Darcey's determination to be his wife in more than just name. Nor did he anticipate meeting Maria, a young, part-Chinese woman who will capture his heart. And he certainly wasn't prepared for how this beautiful yet savage land will both captivate and destroy his soul . . . From nineteenth-century Adelaide and the red dirt of mid-north South Australia, to the cattle stations and buffalo plains of the far north Ross's journey is one of anger and desire, adventure and determination, to the heart of stone country and beyond.

Kuwarddewardde: a forbidding, mysterious and ancient land.The Arnhem Land plateau (known locally as the Stone Country) covers an area of 32,000 sq kms and generates much of the fertility of the Top End of Australia. The region is stunningly beautiful and unique - both physically and culturally.The traditional home to more than 50 clans of the Bininj (Aboriginal) people of western Arnhem Land, the Stone Country has long been a refuge for them, and rare fauna and flora.People have lived in the Stone Country for tens of thousands of years - their presence attested to on the walls and ceilings of rock shelters, from drawings of small dynamic images of hunters and their quarry that date back over 30,000 years, to ¿contact¿ art that depicts the arrival of Europeans in northern Australia less than 200 years ago. The rock art of the Stone Country (which includes parts of modern-day Kakadu and Nitmiluk national parks) is prolific and extensive, representing the longest continual record of human settlement and endeavor of any place on Earth.To European newcomers, the Stone Country was an unwelcoming, hot environment with rugged cliffs, bare, layered sandstone boulders and difficult-to-navigate terrain. For Bininj, who crisscrossed the plateau for centuries, food and shelter was plentiful and routes between the coast and inland regions were easy to travel.Each year, water runs off the highly weathered sandstone of the Stone Country during the tropical wet season, filling some of the largest rivers in northern Australia that bisect tropical woodlands and floodplains before reaching the coast .

A Washington Post Best Fiction Book of 2022 From the son of acclaimed author James Agee, a haunting novel depicting an American boy’s childhood in Mexico, ensconced in a world comprised of communist European exiles, local union activists, street children, and avant-garde artists like Frida Kahlo. Joel Agee’s hallucinatory first novel begins in a house with a large garden in an unnamed Mexican town in the late 1940s, where six-and-a-half-year-old Peter reads, dreams, and plays with his friends. He is a nascent explorer, artist, philosopher, mystic, and scientist. His world is still new, not yet papered over with received knowledge. And the actual world around him is a unique one in history: a community of leftist emigrés who have found refuge in Mexico from the Nazi and fascist regimes of Europe, rubbing shoulders with Mexican labor activists and leftists such as Frida Kahlo. But the emigrés long for home — including Peter’s step-father, who wants to return to his native Germany. Going back to Europe may not be safe for any of them yet, however, which gives rise to anguished arguments among Peter’s parents’s and their tight group of friends. And slowly, Peter begins to comprehend that his world may be turned upside down – that he might be forced to take leave of everyone he knows: his best friend, Arón; his father’s friend Sándor, who talks about revolution and performs magic tricks; and Zita, the family’s live-in-maid, who has taught him the consoling mysteries of prayer . . . Steeped in the magic and myths of childhood — yet haunted by a harsh adult world bedeviled by instability and political turmoil — Joel Agee’s The Stone World is an unforgettable portrait of a family that will inevitably invite comparison with another classic family story, that of his father James Agee’s A Death in the Family.

A captivating novel of resistance in a dictatorship, and steeped in Albanian folklore, The Fall of the Stone City shows Kadare at the height of his powers.

When a troubled young man, Ungara, goes on a killing spree in Arnhem Land, local Elders contract Kangi, a Kurdaitchii man, to hunt the fugitive down. Meanwhile, also on the hunt are Northern Territory police sergeant Ken Wilson and Indigenous policeman Toby Cahill. In the wilderness of the Stone Country they join forces with the Kurdaitchii Man, but Ungara proves to be a hard man to catch. He leads them a merry chase through crocodile-infested swamps, across fire-blackened plains and through tall monsoon woodlands. Just as the "wet season" arrives, Ungara leads the hunters into the void of the Goyder River swamps, where the chase will reach a terrifying climax.
