About this listen

 Territory is the story of Henrietta Southern, a young Englishwoman who trades her war-torn homeland for a place of wild tropical storms and searing heat, crocodile-infested rivers and barren red wilderness. Six months after the bombing of Darwin, she joins her new husband, Spitfire pilot Terence Galloway, for a new life on his Northern Territory cattle station. It is also the story of their sons. Of Malcolm and Kit, two brothers who grow up in the harsh but beautiful environment, and share a baptism of fire as young men in the jungles of Vietnam. And what of the Dutch East Indies treasure ship which foundered off Western Australia in 1629? How is the Galloway family's destiny linked with Batavia's horrific tale of mutiny and murder ...? From the blazing inferno that was Darwin on 19 February 1942 to the devastation of Cyclone Tracy, from the red desert to the tropical shore, Territory is a mile-a-minute tale from one of Australia's best loved writers.©2003 Judy Nunn, ; Produced by arrangement with Penguin Random House Australia Pty Ltd Copyright Judy Nunn, ; Produced by arrangement with Penguin Random House Australia Pty Ltd (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Historical Fiction Fiction

'Nunn's talent for storytelling will have you chewing up [Territory] with compelling ease.' (Sunday Times)

I looked up several of the scenes in this book. It appears well researched. The characters are also brought to life and aptly woven into the narrative. The narrator has a gentle voice and tells the story well. I’d recommend it for people who like historic novels. Enjoy!

Historically interesting and well told
