'... 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

vie with the melodies of hawkers, the growl of motos, the shouts of pedestrians. But

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. ...'
