1 y separately published work icon Lost in Mangroves Philip Newey (editor), Australia : Tropical Writers Group of Cairns , 2014 9415147 2014 anthology prose

'Lost in Mangroves is the sixth anthology of writing put together by Tropical Writers, and this one is a little different. What you will find here is creative non-fiction which tries to capture a sense of place and, sometimes, time. The place? Tropical North Queensland. (OK, we did let one of our Northern Territorian friends contribute too.) The time? From the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Most importantly, what is captured here is a sense of the people who have occupied this place over the years and centuries. You will enjoy reading this diverse collection, by a range of very different writers. Even more, be ready to pack your bags, because you will want to come and visit us here, in Far North Queensland.'
