Sheep Country (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The Beaumont's family owns a smaller property adjoining the vast outback sheep station Mulwarie now run by Peter Munro famous not only because of the family name but also because he is a Rugby football legend. Crippling debt and successive droughts have given the Munros no option other than to sell Mulwarie. Bill Beaumont, a mining engineer and pilot, has returned home after some years away hoping to renew his friendship with Julia, Peter's daughter. Julia Munro has long been attracted to Bill but events make it too difficult for them to have a relationship. They have differing views on environmental issues which widen further when a coal-seam gas company threatens to set up in the district. Far worse is to come when a major tragedy devastates both families.

Autor

As a young man John Havilah enjoyed the physicality of working as a station hand on a sheep property and playing Rugby whenever possible. He then took a sharp turn to become a Pharmacist owning Seaforth Pharmacy, Sydney for many years. During this time he also served a term as an Alderman on Manly Council. On selling the Pharmacy he and his wife Sue moved to Noosa, purchased Noosa Book Shop and became very interested in Creative Writing. John has now finished his second novel and written about one hundred short stories. Having moved on from the book shop his day now starts with an ocean swim, a walk with the dogs and preferably includes some time at the writing desk.
