Listen to a sample Listen to a sample
In the near future Australia is about to experience colonisation once more. What have we learned from our past? A daring debut novel from the winner of the 2016 black&write! writing fellowship.
Jacky was running. There was no thought in his head, only an intense drive to run. There was no sense he was getting anywhere, no plan, no destination, no future. All he had was a sense of what was behind, what he was running from. Jacky was running.
The Natives of the Colony are restless. The Settlers are eager to have a nation of peace, and to bring the savages into line. Families are torn apart, reeducation is enforced. This rich land will provide for all.
This is not Australia as we know it. This is not the Australia of our history. This TERRA NULLIUS is something new, but all too familiar. An incredible debut from a striking new Australian Aboriginal voice.

Highly Commended in the Victorian Premier's Literary Awards 2017

"Artfully combining elements of literary, historical, and speculative fiction, this allegorical novel is surprising and unforgettable." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"The truth that lies at the heart of this novel is impossible to ignore." BOOKS+PUBLISHING
"A skilfully constructed pastiche of colonisation, resistance and apocalyptic chaos with parallels that sit unsettlingly close to home." THE BIG ISSUE
"A delightfully duplicitous noodle-bender that flips the script on the Indigenous Australian survival narrative." KIRKUS REVIEWS
