Lasseter’s Reef – A Novel

Warwick Austin

Cattleman Jack Harding has information he thinks will lead him and his Aboriginal friend, Sam Wundura, to the fabled Lasseter’s Reef which he must find if he is to recover his family birthright, Belowra Downs station. The Land Council has given him permission to search Native Land. The Local Aborigines haven’t.

Neither has Brett Hamilton of ASIO’s Domestic Operation Unit who cannot allow the Reef ever to be discovered. It is a matter of vital national importance that the location of Lasseter’s Reef remains secret. Hamilton despatches an SAS patrol led by a psychopathic sergeant to ensure Harding fails without the Aborigines knowing. But can the sergeant follow orders?

Harding is in for a hard time and when he thinks things can’t get worse … they do.
