Belonging to country was an intangible thing - you didn't have to own it, you just let it take you in and ever after felt incomplete away from it. Kelly Roberts finds refuge in the rugged and remote cattle country of northern Australia, but when tragedy strikes she is forced to find a new life for herself and her children outside of Rainsford Station. She retreats to the family's only asset - a freehold block of land owned jointly by her eccentric father-in-law, Quinn. In the valley at Evergreen Springs, Quinn hopes the fractured family might all come together to start over again. Life in Queensland's far north is wildly unpredictable, with daily challenges and the wet season, in all its wild majesty, to survive. But when twelve-year-old Rob makes the gruesome discovery of a dead body in the valley, real peril comes far too close to home. Tracking North is a beautiful family story about life in the stunning Gulf Country, one of the world's most unique and fascinating places.

No need to visit the gulf country now, I feel like I have lived through the wet, having just read Tracking North by Kerry McGinnis. It brought the country to life, and what a backdrop it was for a tale well told. I enjoyed this book.
