Territory

"Territory" by Judy Nunn follows Henrietta Southern as she relocates from war-torn England to Australia’s Northern Territory, joining her husband on a cattle station amidst a landscape marked by natural extremes and historical upheavals. The novel also traces the lives of their sons, Malcolm and Kit, as they experience the hardships of growing up in this rugged environment and serve in Vietnam. Interwoven with the family saga are linked stories that explore Australia's past, including a shipwreck off Western Australia in 1629. Through moments of natural disaster and personal challenge, the story offers an engaging look at resilience and destiny across generations.
