1 14 y separately published work icon Below the Line Eric Willmot , Milsons Point : Hutchinson Australia , 1991 Z56017 1991 single work novel science fiction 'This novel is set in early 21st Century Australia, an Australia divided in two. Northern Australia, along a line north of Brisbane to Carnarvon in Western Australia, has been invaded by the Indonesians and is now known as South Irian. Life for those left below the line, in 'free' Australia is very different from that known in the 20th century.' Source: Libraries Australia.

Simon Brent is orphaned. Still shocked, he is taken to live with his only relatives, brother and sister Charlie and Edie Waters, who live on a farm. There, Simon meets the Aboriginal spirits who also live on the land. Together Simon, Charlie, Edie, and the spirits save the land from the ancient Nargun. The story is memorable in the portrayal of the Nargun and the spirits, as well as the characters of Charlie and Edie, and the depiction of Simon's change from a shocked and emotionally frozen individual to a normal boy.

— Appears in: Tim; Ledi iz Missalongi 1993;

'The Hurlingford family have ruled the small town of Byron, nestled in the Blue Mountains, for generations. Wealthy, powerful and cruel, they get what they want, every time.

'Missy Wright lives with her widowed mother and crippled aunt in genteel poverty. Hurlingfords by birth, all three are victim to the family's rule of inheritance: the men take it all. Plain, thin and unforgivably single, it seems Missy's life is destined to be dreary.

'But then a stranger arrives in town. A divorcee from Sydney. And she opens Missy's eyes to the possibility of a happy ending.'
