Women of the Outback is a rousing celebration of the lives of fourteen 'true heroes of our sunburnt country'. It presents the touching stories of women who have overcome incredible hardships and beaten towering odds to survive and thrive in some of the remotest parts of Australia.

With a foreword by Janet Holmes à Court and tales as diverse and inspiring as the women themselves, this collection of stories paints a vivid, lively and accessible picture of the thrills, spills and heartfelt joys of life in the bush...(more)

And Then the Darkness: The disappearance of Peter Falconio and the trials of Joanne Lees

Two young English tourists watch a glorious Australian Outback sunset, and are waylaid in the middle of nowhere by a predatory stranger. There’s a single gunshot, and then the darkness …

Hours later, Joanne Lees is found wandering the highway, cut and bleeding, her hands bound together and tape matted in her hair. Her boyfriend Peter Falconio seems to have vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a pool of blood on the side of the road.

World Beyond Tears: The Ongoing Story Of Father Chris Riley

When the Boxing Day tsunami hit, Australians were moved to help in a massive outpouring of sympathy and aid. But one of the first to arrive in the worst-hit area, Banda Aceh, was Father Chris Riley, the priest renowned for his dedication to improving the welfare of Australia’s poorest kids.

And in an extraordinary operation in the most devoutly Muslim and strife-torn area of Indonesia, his organization, Youth Off The Streets, was the first to set up an orphanage for local children.
