How quickly our lives can change and usually we cannot prevent the change. However with the events of the previous twelve months I know we all want change. I am blessed to be living in Australia, because we are one and free now. Lets hope we can continue to work together to keep Australia on track as a mark of respect, not only to all all our diggers, but the medical and rescue teams, educators, mums and dads.

I wrote this book in 1999. At that time the year 2000 was approaching and there was much talk in the media about the impending end of the world. We had visited a small block of land in the rainforest. It housed a humble tin shed with no power or other council utilities such as running water or sewerage. It is such a peaceful quiet place. I began thinking how much I would love to just stay there away from the hustle and bustle of the city where I lived and worked.
The reason I have published this book now is because I have time to do so. Time I did not have while I was working full time. I am now retired I enjoy travelling and spending time with my grandchildren.

The story is about what would happen if all of a sudden, without any warning , there was no electricity, no connection to technology. Back in 1999 technology was quickly becoming so necessary to everyone’s existence. Not many people had cash in their purses and grew their own food. Not in the city.

There are three main characters.

Jack, A self made man who grew up in a humble home but was a happy child. How he came to live on his cattle property with his wife and two daughters. How he survived the world without technology.

Jade, a middle aged woman whose three children had grown up and left their city home to seek their own way in life. How her life had become so dismal and how she changed and grew strong when discovered that she didn’t need to spend huge amounts of money on her home anymore now that the children had left and how she ensured that they had a safe place to come home to. She began preparing.

Gillian and Adam. A young family with a small son. How they grew to love their bush retreat and prepare for what they knew would eventually change their world forever more.
