What reviewers said about The Feast of the Bunya...
“A charming, lyrical and magnificently researched evocation of clan life in Australia at the advent of European exploration... beautifully crafted.”
Tom Flood
Miles Franklin Award Winner
“While there is plenty of action and thrills to keep the pages whipping over, it is the depth of detail of camp life across the different river and mountain tribes that remains etched in the mind.”
Driftwood Review
“I thought the writing and story very beautiful.”
Belinda Bolliger
Australian Broadcasting Corporation
“Captures a sense of indigenous tribal life with impressive detail and care... ”
Sue Murray
Producer, Ten Canoes

When I was growing up in rural Australia in the 1970’s, our nation’s 40,000 year human history was rarely acknowledged. I became fascinated by this hidden history and knew I had to write about it. The Feast of the Bunya has been my way of traveling back in time to meet the people and explore our vast Australian landscape before the first European settlers arrived. This was a book I had to write.I currently live with my family on a farm in northern New South Wales. I’m passionate about farming, history, music (I play a passable honky-tonk piano) and, of course, writing. Despite an erratic and rather eclectic output, I have written and co-written eight books and published with major mainstream and academic publishers.I hope you enjoy The Feast of the Bunya.
