We stand on the lookout at the edge of the escarpment looking out across the flood plain to the coast and the village that was my home as a child. The scene before us is much changed from the last time I stood here more than 10 years ago. The earthquake that devastated my outback home has changed the flood plain and the tsunami which must have followed it has thrown up boats and debris several miles from the coast. The highway that bisects the coastal plain is cracked and lifted by the earth quake and there are crevasses sending fissures and lines across the once pristine paddocks that supported the dairy industry that this area was known for. Now all that remains of the great herds of cattle are a few stray head dotted in spots where the grass has survived and the tsunami has not reached.
I stand there with tears flowing down my face as I peer out across this wasteland that was once my home. Gavin passes me the binoculars that we had brought from the Police 4 x 4 and I slowly raise them to my eyes to gain a better view of the huddle of houses on the promontory overlooking the sea. I can see the white of the house where my parents have made their home for all their married lives and the house looks undamaged as do many of the other homes up on the hill around it. There is movement in the tiny village of Gordon and this gives me hope that my parents are alive and that our group will find a welcome and safety there.
The outback travellers reach the coast to find the destruction of tsunami and the possiblitity of not finding the welcome they had hoped to find.
Dawn was widowed in late 2010 and wrote her first book, "Widowhood 101" was published in May 2012 and quickly followed by "Widowhood 102 - The Diary Entries" and "Widowhood 103 - Tears Grief". Widowhood 103 was written in collaboration with Annie Watson. These books describe Dawn's journey through the death of her husband and the first year of widowhood. There are more books planned for the series over the coming years as the changes wrought by the loss of her much loved husband become apparent.
"Outback Exodus" was Dawn's first venture into publishing her fiction work and the story has been written with a deep love of Australia which expands across the vast Outback and culminates on the beautiful East Coast Flood Plains.
"Settled on the Coast" followed "Outback Exodus" and continues the story of the band of travellers as they set up their new lives
Gordon Under Attack takes you into the first year of settlement and the gangs which threaten the safety of the village.
Sloan carries forward the story of the saviour of the village of Gordon.
New Generations carries the story of the settlement of Gordon 50 years into the future.
If you enjoy the work please return to the place of purchase to leave a review.
Dawn now adds a new series which has spun off from the Outback Exodus which picks up where Sloan finishes. The new series is called The Long Road South which was released in February 2017.
