Acknowledgements Thanks to the team at Pilyara Press for making Journey’s End available globally, and to my agent, Clare Forster, of Curtis Brown Australia. Thanks to my patient family for enduring my absences while I was locked away writing, and for believing in me. You are all stars! Thank you to my literary friends, talented writers themselves, who encourage me, and understand like nobody else the joys and pitfalls of this journey. Perhaps the most special thanks of all goes to to my old school friend Kim Gollan and her husband Pete. Journey’s End is based on their magnificent Dingo Creek Rainforest Nursery. I’ll never forget that trip we took together to Tapin Tops National Park. Kim, you are my real life inspiration for the concept of bush regeneration and rewilding. Last but no
