Territory

This legendary story of disaster and depravity is told in alternating chapters with the story of the Galloway family, station owners, and the story of Darwin itself, from the day it was bombed by Japanese fighter planes during WW2 and nearly flattened, to that extraordinary Christmas Day in 1974 when Darwin was again devastated by 'fury from the sky': this time in the form of Cyclone Tracy. Following the course of a priceless 16th century locket and the fortunes of the Galloway clan, Judy Nunn tells a breathtaking story of disaster, courage and passion and that Top End spirit that never says die.

  • "A priceless 16th century locket threads two riveting stories together in this saga set in and around Darwin, Australias ultimate frontier town. Commissioned by a Dutch noblewoman as a gift to her beloved, the locket becomes a symbol of strength and inspiration for the woman as she struggles to survive the tragic wreck of the Batavia off the West Australian coast, and endure the hideous events that followed. By the time the survivors were rescued from the small island on which they had sought shelter they were either speechless with horror or had been driven mad by the atrocities they had witnessed. A young passenger resolves to escape and is given the locket as a good luck charm.
