Last Train to Menindee

$33.99

Genre: Outback Memoir

There's solace in asylum, but the voices never rest.

When a half-submerged body appears at Menindee Lakes, a mother overwhelmed by the trauma of her youngest son’s schizophrenia insists police abandon further enquiry.

Thirteen years later, her only remaining son travels from Queensland to outback Menindee on the banks of the Darling River. Here, he unfolds a past inextricably tied to the chaos of his younger brother's life-journey... 

One brother reckons with guilt and helplessness in the care of a loved one afflicted with mental illness. The other battles addiction from the confines of asylum, and laments the loss of artistic talent and his all-forgiving Warlpiri wife.

Set against the vast, unforgiving Australian outback, this is a heart-wrenching, nation-spanning memoir of trauma, resilience and the unbreakable bonds of family told with honesty, humility and humour.

Last Train to Menindee will be released in 2027. Pre-order now to receive your copy at least two weeks before the release date.
