Spinifex

In the unforgiving spinifex country, Rose MacGregor and her baby sister face danger as their family holiday turns perilous. Threatened by armed strangers during a gem-fossicking expedition, Rosie's mettle is tested. In the searing 38-degree heat and desolate wilderness, she must rely on her army cadet training-wits, brains, memory, and determination-to navigate the treacherous terrain and protect her little sister. Can Rose overcome the odds and protect her sister in the vast, challenging landscape of the Selwyn Ranges? Spinifex is a gripping tale of courage, resourcefulness, and the indomitable spirit of a young army cadet in the rugged heart of Northwest Queensland.
