Million Copy Bestselling Author

A captivating saga of four lifelong friends navigating the waves of change in Western Australia's transformative decades, from the idyllic 1950s to the dynamic 90s.

Perth's Golden Era

The prosperous 1950s when childhood is idyllic in the small city of Perth... The turbulent 60s of free love and war... The avaricious 70s when WA's mineral boom breeds a new kind of entrepreneur... The corrupt 80s, when greedy politicians and powerful businessmen bring the state to its knees...

This is the story of Mike, Spud, Pembo and Murray, and the friendship that binds them over four memorable decades in Western Australia.

A Tale of Tenacity

Each of the four has a story to tell. An environmentalist fights to save the beautiful Pilbara coast from the mining conglomerates; a Vietnam veteran rises above crippling injuries to discover an extraordinary talent; and an ambitious geologist joins a hard-core businessman to lead the growth of Perth from a sleepy town to a glittering citadel of skyscrapers.

Change and Consequences

But, as the 1990s ushers in a new age, all four are caught up in the irreversible tides of change - and actions must be answered for...

About the Author

Judy Nunn's career has been long, illustrious and multifaceted. After combining her internationally successful acting career with scriptwriting for television and radio, Judy decided in the 80s to turn her hand to prose. The result was two adventure novels for children, Eye in the Storm and Eye in the City, which remain extremely popular, not only in Australia but in Europe. Embarking on adult fiction in the early 90s, Judy's three novels, The Glitter Game, Centre Stage and Araluen, set respectively in the worlds of television, theatre and film, became instant bestsellers. Her subsequent bestsellers, Kal, Beneath the Southern Cross, Territory, Pacific, Heritage, Floodtide, Maralinga and Tiger Men confirm her position as one of Australia's leading popular novelists.
