Excerpt from the short story: “Out-Back in the Wallangie Bush”
The sign read CLOSE THE GATE BEHIND YOU. I heard the telltale click and knew we’d entered another world—the Australian bush country. A small caravan of off-road four-wheel drives labored over parallel ruts in the red earth.
“Easy to get lost if you fall behind,” Charlie said, pulling hard on the wheel, trying to skirt a jagged mound of rock. From the back seat, I sucked in air and held tight to the handgrip over my head.
“Charlie,” I said, leaning forward, “I’m not worried about getting lost; I’m worried about rolling over.”
“Ah, Pam,” he said, “have a little faith. We’ll have a g’day, we will.”
