Currawong Creek

The Wild Australia Stories, Book 2

By: Jennifer Scoullar

Narrated by: Briana McGeary

Brisbane lawyer Clare Mitchell leads a structured, orderly life. That is until she finds herself the unlikely guardian of a small, troubled boy. In desperation, Clare takes Jack to stay at Currawong Creek, her grandfather’s horse stud in the foothills of the beautiful Bunya Mountains.

Here, life moves at a different pace and for Clare, it feels like coming home. Her granddad adores having them there, Jack loves the animals, and Clare finds herself falling hard for the handsome local vet.

But trouble is coming. The Pyramid Mining Company threatens to destroy the land Clare loves – and with it, her newfound happiness.

Critic reviews

'Jennifer Scoullar touched me with Currawong Creek and I look forward to seeing what comes next.' (Beauty and Lace)

'Currawong Creek is a delightful, thoughtful and heartwarming story. I really enjoyed this well written novel and I am already looking forward to the next from Jennifer Scoullar.' (Book'd Out)

'Crisp, well-written tale … sings like a Bunya Mountain breeze.' (The Courier Mail)

Excellent Listen.

I had already met Clare and Tom much later in their life with Wild Horses. I am reading these so backwards but it doesn't matter. Jennifer Scoullar writes a fantastic story. I loved Clare and her grandfather and their journey with Jack. There was tension with where would Jack end. up - with Clare or his mother Taylor. Would Tom and Clare get together finally - well I knew they did, but it was good to find out how. It was sad to see granddad go. So a story of family, friendship and love. I loved seeing Jack heal and the birth of a whole new venture for the farm. I highly recommend the audio version, although I am sure it would be good to read too.
