Publisher's Summary

Territory is the story of Henrietta Southern, a young Englishwoman who trades her war-torn homeland for a place of wild tropical storms and searing heat, crocodile-infested rivers and barren red wilderness. Six months after the bombing of Darwin, she joins her new husband, Spitfire pilot Terence Galloway, for a new life on his Northern Territory cattle station. It is also the story of their sons. Of Malcolm and Kit, two brothers who grow up in the harsh but beautiful environment, and share a baptism of fire as young men in the jungles of Vietnam. And what of the Dutch East Indies treasure ship which foundered off Western Australia in 1629? How is the Galloway family's destiny linked with Batavia's horrific tale of mutiny and murder ...? 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 tale from one of Australia's best loved writers.

Territory

A most gripping novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and most highly recommended. Being a huge fan of history, particularly Australian history, it was historically correct and thoughtfully and imaginatively written.

Family saga

This held my interest and also opened my eyes to some parts of our history I wasn’t familiar with. The characters really come to life and you want things to work out for them!

A bit too long but fascinating

I’ve read the Batavia story multiple times. The story woven around the locket is beautifully combined with it and the Aboriginal folk in the areas.

I was impressed by the character description of Terence Galloway.

The history information of Darwin in particular is always interesting.

I wish John Gregg would take time to practice correct (Australian) pronunciation of important words such as Abrolhos as well as the Dutch words. I’m Dutch and could not define some Dutch words.
Take a leaf out of Richie Benaud’s book and practice new names to perfection. It will be noted and appreciated.
