From Queensland to Kiribati: some featured locations

Settings for action in A Flight of Dolphins range from Queensland through the islands of the south-west Pacific.

Butaritari and the Gilbert Islands (Kiribati)
Featured throughout A Flight of Dolphins, Butaritari is one of the northernmost islands of Kiribati and has experienced a rich and often perilous history from early colonial days through World War 2 and beyond.

South East Queensland
A Flight of Dolphins sees action in a number of locations around South East Queensland during the late colonial era, prior to Australia’s Federation. The region was a major destination for ‘blackbirded’ labour from the Pacific islands.

South East Queensland and the nearby Pacific region are also settings for upcoming books in the Land and Sea Series: The Forgiving Spirit and Child of the Land and Sea.

The picture galleries at my author page are a personal view of some of these locations.
