$34.99

Written over a period of ten years from 1985, The Ghosts Trilogy follows the lives of a group of young Latvians who emigrate to North Queensland in 1948. The chronicle of their struggles over forty-five years is paralleled by the narrative detailing the unsuccessful journeys made by German explorer Ludwig Leichhardt in Queensland in the years 1845-46.

Too Young For Ghosts

No Going Back
The second play continues the intrigues of the group of young Latvians who emigrated to North Queensland in 1948.

My Father’s Father
The final play explores the relationships and experiences, over forty-five years, of the group of young Latvians who emigrated to North Queensland in 1948.
