AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The sleepy coastal village of Bimbulla is nestled between rugged mountains and sparkling waters. Each winter, research scientist Digby Stuart waits for the wandering albatross to break its journey en route to the Antarctic, and to continue his studies of these majestic nomads. This year, though, discoveries are made that hint at sinister secrets from the past. And there are more immediate, pressing problems - greedy locals want to transform the town into a major tourist spot, natural habitats are fast disappearing, kids are running wild and the woman Dig loves is bewitched by another man. Suddenly life in Bim is anything but simple.' (Publisher's blurb)
