The Witch Doctor's Opal

<p>Tristram Jones is given an opal by his dying grandfather. Little does he know its connection to an old aboriginal witch doctor with bright orange eyes. He is Dinewan - meaning Emu - taken from the Great Spirit of the Dreamtime.</p><p>But is he just a wicked and bitter misfit or something far more marvelous and dangerous?</p><p>The stories that swirl around Tristram and the opal stretch across generations and are connected by both Dinewan and the fabled monster of the billabong: the Bunyip. Scottish highlanders bushrangers and an old Chinese goldminer each play their part in a family legend that seems doomed to end in blood.</p><p>Bunyip is a modern tale influenced by much older stories and spiced with science legend and sensual experiences. It is gruesome in places funny in others and tender where it counts.</p><p><em>This book is intended for a mature readership and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.</em></p>
