Set in the Central Highlands of Queensland, Australia, in 1972. Trax, his wife D'nae, son seventeen-year-old Kra, and thirteen-year-old daughter E'la, are a loving family unit, (Zenilings), who believe Earth to be their home world. Trax's daughter is riding a stolen stallion; Cattlemen intend to shoot first and ask questions later. Old Wonga (an Aboriginal Elder), must save the Alcheringa child at all cost. Aboriginals knew the Dreamtime Spirits would return one day. Rock Art over 40,000 years old, in the Carnarvon Gorge, depicts the story. Jake Kingsman, stockman, and Jessica Landers, barmaid, meet in a fowl yard. There is a definite spark, no ... lightning strike ... despite the fact she is covered in sloppy bread and chook poo, and he, in oil and grease and smelling of cow dung. Their small plane encounters a UFO; they crash. Trax carries Jake's unconscious body into a cave. Jess should be screaming and running for help. Instead, she follows. An Alien lad sees Jessica, his thoughts violate the strictest rules of their race. Jake's father is blinded. He wants to return to the spaceship for further healing. 'Jim,' he calls to his foreman, 'tell the Missus I am going back to the spaceship with E'La.' Oh, God, he thought, how can I explain to Missus Kingsman? 'Hey, Mrs K, your husband has just gone off with an Alien girl. But, don't worry, she's a big alien, not a little green one ... Oh, God! She'll kill me!' The stable door burst open. 'YOUNG MAN!' A woman's bulk filled the doorway. Oh! Jesus! It's her SISTER!; 'I felt safer facing the Alien!' Earthquakes; floods and 'payback', the pointing of bones by aboriginals; Min-Min Lights; rape and murder. A breakneck ride; DNA and brainwashing. Mutilated cattle and cattle duffers. A hidden fortune in gemstones. All in a day's work for the men of The Downs and Bindiburra Stations. Dale explains that she began writing Sci/Fi stories long before she had a very close encounter with a Min Min Light. She states, 'That amazing experience I shared with my husband, changed my mindset. I am now open to all strange happenings people have told me about. I don't dismiss anything as pure gibberish anymore. These strange, unexplained lights need further study. To date, nothing new has been discovered, although there are many sightings every year. I lived for 33 years close to the area of the Carnarvon Gorge in Queensland, where this story takes place. The story flowed easily. I feel that I had little input and that the characters directed where the story went. I was often very surprised when reading it back, 'Did I really write THAT'? Dale had an adventuresome childhood, her parents traveled a lot. She says, 'I don't regret the disturbed schooling or the friends that were left behind. People from all walks of life became my teachers The dusty roads lured my family, two brothers and two sisters, ever onwards. When Mum and Dad decided to 'Go on the wallaby' again, it was time for another adventure for me.' Dale continues with her story, 'I wish,' she said, 'my boys could have experienced the joy of exploring as many places as I did'. 'My husband, Pat, and I settled down in a small mining town, I was lucky enough to own several horses. My sons rode in Gymkhanas and in local Shows. Those years were the happiest of my life.' Dale also owned two businesses that kept her busy day and night. Thankfully, trusted staff allowed Dale to have time for her boy's interests. The horses took up a great deal of time, yet Dale managed to explore her love of oil painting and outdoor bowls. Pat retired, and they moved closer to Rockhampton, where Pat took over the kitchen, allowing Dale to get some more stories she had stored up in her head down on paper at last. Several short stories, plus children's adventure yarns, are waiting to be published. 'The Alcheringa Trilogy has taken me on a long journey; one that, like the one my family took me on, had no set destination. 'Just go with the flow', my Dad would say, 'and hope there is a barramundi on the line'. Sadly, her husband died before she had time to have her books published. Dale concludes her story, 'I am living with my son. We laugh a lot at the antics of the newest members of the household ... four gorgeous kittens. It was so hard to give them away. We already have two adult cats but one kitten in particular stole our hearts, ... so ... now he is the playmate to our Cavoodle puppy. They love each other. When I'm typing, it is either the kitten or the puppy lying across my arms. They think the laptop takes too much of my attention away from them. They are right. I get lost in time when I'm with my characters, Jessica and Jake, Trax and Kra. E'la, and D'nae. I only realise when the sun comes up, that I should be in bed'. 'Nite for now. 'See ya' later, mate!'
