A Scottish-Australian man. A rumour of lost family land. A golden Holden. A pilgrimage across a continent - and into identity itself.
When Jack Forsyth receives a mysterious postcard urging him to find what we never could, he leaves Melbourne behind and sets off on an unlikely quest: to uncover the truth behind a generations-old rumour that somewhere in the vast Australian landscape lies forgotten Forsyth land.
Joined by Mara - chaotic, loyal, endlessly curious - and Jirra - calm, grounded, and attuned to the land's deeper rhythms - Jack embarks on a 4,000-kilometre road-pilgrimage in a battered Golden Holden that becomes as much a companion as a car.
What begins as a search for a place becomes a journey through:
the Outback's ancient, unmapped heart
the cultural layers of modern Australia
the echoes of Jack's Scottish ancestry
visions, stories, and histories carried in blood and land
the humour, dust, and humanity of the open road
From cattle stations to coastal cliffs, from roadhouse wisdom to ancestral visions, Jack discovers that belonging isn't something you inherit - it's something you learn to walk with.
He may not find the land he was looking for. But he finds something far more powerful.
Australiana is a warm, cinematic, and deeply human novel about identity, heritage, and the quiet magic of the Australian landscape. Perfect for readers who love road-trip stories, cultural journeys, and novels that blend humour with heart.
For everyone who has ever felt Australia in their blood - or wondered where home truly begins.
