Tasmania (Trowena) 1830
Identical twins Sonni and Bobbi are having the time of their lives. They are the youngest of a family of six and their parents are at an afternoon ceremony being held at the top of a thickly treed hill close by. On that day, their normal day's playtime is shattered when the twins see the rumored Ghosts for the first time. Right then, their slow-living harmonious lives began to change speed forever. As within the nature of their Mother, they will adapt or die underfoot.
The very flexible Fethafoot - Gyor-bun - is sent from Uluru to Trowena, where he discovers that even after horrendous calamity and loss of life - as in Nature - there always follows rebirth and new life.
