Description
Based on a true story of family, courage and resilience.
Six children travelled to the Daintree with their parents in 1927 - 1936. They were all under 12 when they first arrived in one of the most inhospitable but beautiful environments on earth. By a trick of destiny they were joined by 15 year old redhead Ginger (George Whittaker). Ginger was an orphan from England who had sailed to Australia alone, in search of his fortune and a real family to call his own.

What motivated me, after 45 years in education, to make a career change to be a writer? I have always loved rhyming and spent many wonderful days in a Kindy class, as a volunteer away from my Deputy Principal role, reading stories to the children. The predictability of pictures and rhyme had the children joining in and hanging on every word. Here was my real passion. My childhood was growing up in the country town of Kojonup, West Australia. I have researched family ancestry, written and published two novels and four children's books.
