Roses on the Moon

Inside these covers you'll meet Red, a seasoned bushman stranded by a broken axle in the outback with whining Vince, a cadet rouseabout who's not cut out for the back country. Robert recounts a wartime fishing adventure in Port Moresby with the irrepressible Jonno, guns and hand grenades. Jane and Sarah's heritage is a science experiment with a twist.
Janet is lost at sea with a belligerent cook. Evelyn knows what happened in the Red Light District. Gill has three lazy goats, all named Bill. There are misunderstandings and mother's travails. Jane finds the longer a lie goes on the harder it is to tell the truth. There's revenge for Stephania Callidora Stephanopoulas who makes a moussaka with her Nonna.
There is travel and wanderlust. There are Australian sunsets, South Australian wonders, Camel racing and all the hues of this vast land. Mark takes a bicycle and a koala across Africa and finds a worrying, but humorous approach to First Aid. There's hot air ballooning and things that come in three. And, of course, there is man's best friend…
Combine the impossible with the possible and take everyday artefacts to places they have never been. Writing does more than join the words; it joins one concept with another and spills the flowers of our thoughts into something universal, hanging in the sky.
Our anthology will take you to the moon.
