Book Description
Richard Mounsey grew up in a fishing community in Victoria, Australia. His stepfather and brother were fishermen and he was destined to follow in their footsteps. However, secretly he dreamed of becoming a Fisheries Officers and one day a National Director of Fisheries. Without having influential friends in the right government circles he realised at the age of 14 he would have to gain outstanding experience to give him the edge over other would-be Fisheries Officers. Thus he set a course that risked life and limb to achieve his goal, the only way he knew how. As a teenager trapped aboard a Japanese trawler he was physically abused, treated like a slave, thrown overboard, bitten by sea snakes and attacked by a crocodile. He wasted time working on the family shark boat before winning a Churchill Fellowship that took him to the polar reaches of Canada and a world of big catches and high stakes. With a few dollars behind him he went into a bad partnership in a trawler back home before becoming the United Nations Master Shark Fisherman consultant in the Caribbean. Five years later, in 1987, back in Australia, he headed up the Northern Territory’s Fishing Technology Section. During this period crocodile encounters and sea adventures dominated his daily life.

Book Description
The stories and legends of the Bushmen were told to Conrad when he was twelve years old. He was on a hunting trip with his father, Jack Hartmann, a brutal but confused man who 'gave' Conrad an old Bushman to teach him the ways of the land. Bastiaan taught him not only about the beasts and plants and soil, but inculcated in Conrad a philosophy that would remain with him throughout his life. But at home Conrad learns a different set of rules as he and Beeky, the young sister he adores, huddle together listening to the sound of his mother being beaten and told she is trash. Jack Hartmann, a senator and man of power in the community, hates his wife and daughter as much as he loves his son and Conrad's mother impresses on him that he must always protect and guard his little sister. As they achieve maturity, Conrad appears to conform to the vision his father has for him. He joins the army, fighting on the Namibian borders - a savage and hideous conflict. But Beeky defies her father and the establishment, goes her own way, yearning for a new South Africa, a new life, tenderness and kindness in place of hatred and derision. The story of their fulfilment, tragedy, and the return of hope is the story of an ancient land fighting towards redemption.
