Spirit Risen

 

Existence is fragile but the past leaves its mark

Two story-lines intertwine between two very different times in the remote Tasmanian wilderness around Cradle Mountain. Hannah, a graduate scientist takes a break and travels with friend Emma to Cradle Mountain to work in the Lodge. The year is 1990. On her first night at the Lodge, during a fierce storm, she thinks she sees a dark face with pin-point red eyes staring at her through the rain-soaked window. So begins a journey of discovery.

In 1836, Charlotte and her family are trying to eek out a living on a parcel of land gifted to them by the government. Charlotte, against dire warning from her father, befriends an indigenous man and his family. She begins to sense something, another world or time. Charlotte sets out on a quest to discover what is the meaning of her visions.

Meanwhile, in 1990, a group of scientists is using the Lodge as a base for their preliminary research into finding viable DNA of a thylacine with the aim of genetic extinction reversal. Hannah questions if this is ethically the right thing to do. One shocking discovery will change Hannah’s whole world.

Walking Among the Stars
In a celebration of the Australian Outback, Michael Chambers draws on his own experiences, and a hundred and fifty
years of his wife’s family as graziers. He weaves the stories of the Ngiyampaa people, as recounted by his friend and their Elder, Roy Kennedy, into one epic tale, brimming with the sheer vastness and rugged beauty of the Outback.

An historical novel of European settlement set in the arid Willandra and Mungo Lakes District of western New South Wales.

But the real story begins long before that.

Time passes. People come to the dry country, between the rivers; the first peoples, the Ngiyampaa mob. They learn to live where others could not. They find plenty, not poverty. They live there a long, long time, happy and content.

Others come; Europeans, Afghans, Chinese, from across the world they come. The land changes. It no longer gives up its bush
tucker. Many Ngiyampaa die. Some survive, and they learn to live with the settlers, as they had lived with the desert.

They become many again. A town emerges from the dusty plains, phoenix-like, appearing from nowhere, shining brightly for a while.

A story spanning twenty thousand years. Barak, the one-legged warrior, challenges Thylacoleo the feared Marsupial Lion; Mundawal, forced to leave his island home and the woman he loves. Beaufort Harris survives the battlefields of Crimea to vanquish the vast waterless Outback.
Kathleen O’Hara travels the world to marry and founds a global dynasty. Billy Christmas, blackfella, searches for his culture and his heritage.

Tom Duncan is a Jackaroo, from New Zealand. He transitions from youth to man. He learns hard work and values that will define
his future. Suddenly, he finds love. The love of his life!

These are stories of the Outback, of two peoples, one ancient, one modern. There is a Treaty; can either man understand what is promised? Can there be harmony? Here is a story of the ancient land: its fertility,its degradation, and its powers of recovery. And redemption.
