Wombat Creek

By Noelene Jenkinson

Wombat Creek, Australia: The heart of the lush pastoral country and stud merino sheep flocks in Western Victoria.
Wombat Creek is the journey of two people’s longing to learn from the past and create a better future for themselves, together.
Ethan Bourke owns Karingal Park sheep station, fighting personal demons, torn between a long term comfortable relationship and his instant attraction for a radical newcomer to the district.
Single mother SUMMER DALTON inherits the small 100 acre farmlet, Greenbanks, and arrives in the Western District to investigate the viability of settling on her grandfather’s property. The daughter of hippy parents banished for their free-loving morals decades before, the scandal of her family’s past lingers in people’s memories.
Initially prejudiced, Ethan offers to buy Summer out. Planning to stay, she rejects his bid, hoping to succeed and be accepted by the local community. Can they resolve their attraction against the odds of a jealous old flame and Ethan’s snobbish disapproving mother who throws down the ultimate vindictive challenge?

As a child, I was always creating and scribbling. The first typewriter I used was an old black Remington in an agricultural farming office where my father worked. I typed letters to my mother and took them home. These days, both my early planning and plotting, and my first drafts, I write sometimes by hand on A4 notepads or directly onto my laptop, constantly rewriting as I go. I have been fortunate enough to have extensively travelled but have lived my whole life in the Wimmera plains of Victoria, Australia. I live on acreage in a passive solar designed home, surrounded by an Australian native bush garden. When I'm not in my office writing (yes, I have a room to myself with a door - every author's dream), I love reading, crocheting rugs, watercolour painting and playing music on my electronic keyboard.
