'... a playful collection ... This Top End anthology of short fiction and poetry celebrates experiences at the Northern Territory Wildlife Park. Read about greedy pelicans, a green ant's bridal feathers, a water spirit trapped in the Dry, duelling bee-eaters, absent frilled neck lizards, myth and philosophy and vegetarian crocodiles.'

'Phnom Penh today is like any busy South-East Asian city. Almost. Around the

crumbling French mansions and washing-laden tenements, the sounds of construction

its traffic doesn’t have the frantic breakneck press of Hanoi; it lacks the towering high rises of Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Ghosts of loss fill the empty spaces between taxis and four-wheel drives, between the not quite crowded sidewalks. Something is missing. Someone. Many someones. ...'
