Beneath A Queensland Sky
On Orange SoilBy Hannah Caveney
Length8h 16m
About this audiobook
In the drought-stricken heart of Queensland, cattle farmer Tom Callaghan is running out of options.
With the river long dry and the land turning to dust, drilling a new bore seems like the only way to save the property his family has worked for generations. But the place he chooses lies on Country long known to the local Indigenous community.
When Aunty Marlene, a respected Elder, arrives quietly at the boundary fence, she warns him that some places hold stories older than fences or deeds.
Tom believes survival comes first.
But as tensions rise and his teenage son Jacob begins to uncover the deeper history of the land, Tom is forced to confront a truth he has never considered: loving the land is not the same as understanding it and comes with the quiet tension between ownership and custodianship.
Set beneath the vast Queensland sky, Beneath A Queensland Sky is a powerful story about belonging, memory, and the fragile path toward listening and respect.
