Territory
MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
A breathtaking story of disaster, courage, passion, and that Top End spirit that never says die.
JOURNEY TO AUSTRALIA
When Henrietta Southern trades war-torn England for Australia's Northern Territory, with its crocodile-infested rivers and red wilderness, she embarks on a new life on her husband, Spitfire pilot Terence Galloway's cattle station, six months after the bombing of Darwin.
BROTHERS IN ARMS
Their sons, Malcolm and Kit, grow up in this rugged land and must soon face their own trials in the jungles of Vietnam, shaped by the harsh yet beautiful world around them.
MYSTERY AND MUTINY
Tangled in the Galloway's story is the enigma of a Dutch East Indies treasure ship which foundered off Western Australia in 1629, its legacy of mutiny and murder rippling through time to touch their lives in unforeseen and dramatic ways.
A SAGA OF SURVIVAL
From the blazing inferno that was Darwin on 19 February 1942 to the devastation of Cyclone Tracy, from the red desert to the tropical shore, Territory is a mile-a-minute read from one of Australia's best-loved writers.

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.
