In the unforgiving spinifex country, Rose MacGregor and her baby sister face danger as their family holiday turns perilous. Threatened by armed strangers during a gem-fossicking expedition, Rosie’s mettle is tested. In the searing 38-degree heat and desolate wilderness, she must rely on her army cadet training—wits, brains, memory, and determination—to navigate the treacherous terrain and protect her little sister. Can Rose overcome the odds and protect her sister in the vast, challenging landscape of the Selwyn Ranges? Spinifex is a gripping tale of courage, resourcefulness, and the indomitable spirit of a young army cadet in the rugged heart of Northwest Queensland.
