Million Copy Bestselling Author

As refugees gather in the Australian highlands to redirect a river, their lives intertwine in a powerful tale of rebirth, struggle, and the forging of the Australian spirit.

Freedom's New Frontier
In a time when desperate people were seizing with both hands the chance for freedom, refugees from more than seventy nations gathered beneath the Southern Cross to forge a new national identity. They came from all over war-torn Europe to the mountains of Australia to help realise one man's dreamβ€”the mighty Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme, one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century.

Engineering a Dream
People of all races and creeds tunnelled through a mountain range to turn the course of a majestic river, trying to put to rest ghosts from the inferno of historyβ€”buried memories, unimaginable pain, and deadly secrets.

A Tapestry of Struggle
From the ruins of Berlin to the birth of Israel, from the Italian Alps to the Australian high country, Heritage is a passionate and fast-paced tale of rebirth, struggle, sacrifice, and redemption, and a tribute to those who gave meaning to the Australian spirit.

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.
