- Synopsis
- Haunted by the deaths of his mother and grandmother, both of whom perished while hiking through Australia's Blue Mountains, Sam Browne returns to the country of his mother's birth in search of his family's history and a way to make a place for himself within it. By reading his grandmother's memoirs, Sam begins to connect to his family's ancestral home and understand the reasons that she and her daughter after her were so drawn to the Australian landscape and the mystery found there. Drawing upon Australian culture and Aborigine mythology, The Australia Stories captures the strong hold that a place can have upon a person and the way a family's legacy can live on in the present.
