Summary
Set in the eccentric backwater of Karakarook (pop. 1374) New South Wales, this is the story of Douglas Cheeseman, a shy and clumsy engineer with jug-ears who meets Harley Savage, a woman who is known for being rather large and abrupt.

Douglas is there to pull down a quaint old bridge and Harley aims to foster heritage. They are clearly on a collision course - but when they meet they are unaware that something unexpected is going to happen...

Torn between utter admiration of the author's skill and irritation at the amount of detail - you can taste the dust of the outback. But in the end it's the detail that makes the story and creates the characters. Superbly narrated with just the right level of Austalian accent.

Descriptions of the landscape combined with the voice of the narrator were beautiful and allowed me to drift away into the story

A beautifully story full of character and setting. I loved Odette's narration too.
