In the vast wheat-belt of Western Australia, the emus of Campion Valley have lived in harmony with the land for generations. Until the arrival of fences, rifles, and the relentless push of human settlement.

Told through the eyes of a spirited emu family, the novel follows their struggle to survive as the world around them changes. Blending humour, poignancy, and a touch of the mystical, The Emus of Campion Valley reimagines the events leading up to the infamous 1932 “Emu War” from the birds’ point of view, offering a unique and emotionally resonant Australian story.

Aimed at readers of all ages, it is both literary in scope and family-friendly, weaving allegorical elements inspired by First Nations culture and cosmology to make its animal characters larger than life.
