Opis

The Outback Exodus story continues in Settled on the Coast. Our survivors reach their destination and begin to build their new lives. Each day brings new challenges in a destroyed world. The challenge of bringing together such a diverse group and melding it with the villagers of Gordon brings Jenn, Gavin and the members of the committee closer together. Excerpt from the opening of Chapter One We stand on the lookout at the edge of the escarpment looking out across the flood plain to the coast and the village that was my home as a child. The scene before us is much changed from the last time I stood here more than 10 years ago. The earthquake that devastated my outback home has changed the flood plain and the tsunami which must have followed it has thrown up boats and debris several miles from the coast. The highway that bisects the coastal plain is cracked and lifted by the earth quake and there are crevasses sending fissures and lines across the once pristine paddocks that supported the dairy industry that this area was known for. Now all that remains of the great herds of cattle are a few stray head dotted in spots where the grass has survived and the tsunami has not reached.
