Blurb

The outback tests more than survival—it tests who you are and where you truly belong.

1950s Australia. Jimmy, a Yorkshire orphan, is abandoned on a failing sheep station with nothing but a sealed letter for a woman he’s never met. Alone and unwanted, he stumbles into the world of the Munarrakalai People, where he discovers belonging, first love, and a way of seeing the land that will change him forever.

But the truth inside that letter could tear it all apart.

This is more than historical fiction. It’s a story of survival, love, and belonging that dives deep into the ways of a First Nations Mob—showing how culture and spirit can bridge divides and heal wounds that refuse to stay buried.

Perfect for readers of The Thorn Birds, Pillars of the Earth, and The Light Between Oceans, Outback Odyssey is a novel you won’t forget.

Author

Paul Rushworth-Brown writes stories where survival, love, and history collide. Inspired by his father’s tales of the Australian outback and his own years working in remote country, he brings the grit and beauty of 1950s life alive with unflinching authenticity. His novels don’t just capture the struggle of one boy in a harsh land—they echo Australia’s deeper battle between love and hate, truth and silence.

When he isn’t writing, Paul teaches high school, sharing his passion for history and storytelling with the next generation, encouraging them to question the past and imagine new futures.
