Dirrayawadha

Miinaa was a young girl when the white ghosts first arrived. She remembers the day they raised a piece of cloth and renamed her homeland 'Bathurst'. Now she lives at Cloverdale and works for a white family who have settled there.

The Nugents are kind but Miinaa misses her miyagan. His brother, Windradyne, is a Wiradyuri leader who visits when he can, bringing news of unrest across their ngurambang. Miinaa hopes the violence will not come to Cloverdale.

When Irish convict Daniel O'Dwyer arrives at the settlement, Miinaa's life is transformed again. Can their love survive their differences and the turmoil that threatens to destroy everything around them?

From the bestselling author of 'Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray' ('River of Dreams') comes another groundbreaking historical fiction novel about resistance, resilience and love during the Frontier Wars.
