Everything under the Sun

<p>Short stories telling tales from a sunburned country. A wandering walkabout of a book both Urban and Outback. Thirty-seven heartfelt sketches laced with longing.</p><p>Within these pages we travel to the most eclectic corners of the country from secluded sand spits and beaches to inland Birdsville; dine with dingoes fishermen farmers and cassowaries. There is history and humour mystery and regret an odd assortment of bibs bobs and bibelots - often nostalgic reflective happy or sad - sometimes all of the above. We wander ruins and rocks with their own ancient stories; smell the mountain air the mud and bulldust the spinifex and baking sand from dune and desert. We meet Station hands backpackers country and city folk travelling souls of all ilks</p><p>Most of these offerings have been previously published here and there in some form at least scattered across various blogs websites the occasional newspaper and/or offered up in some literary competition.</p><p>While there is lots of `travel' in this Antipodean oddity of a book the stories are very much focused on people places and the human condition. The tales vary in length a menagerie of the tall and the true all intended to lead the reader to who knows where.</p><p><br></p>
