Khaki Town, Judy Nunn’s exciting new novel, is inspired by a true wartime story that has remained a well-kept secret for over seventy years. It seems to have happened overnight, Val thought. How extraordinary. We’ve become a khaki town. It’s March 1942. Singapore has fallen. Darwin has been bombed. Australia is on the brink of being invaded by the Imperial Japanese Forces.

Overnight the small Queensland city is transformed into the transport hub for 70,000 American and Australian soldiers destined for combat in the South Pacific. Barbed wire and gun emplacements cover the beaches. Historic buildings have been commandeered. And the dance halls are in full swing with jitterbug and jive.The Australian troops, short on rations and equipment, begrudge the confident, well-fed 'Yanks' who have taken over their town (and women). And there's growing conflict, too, within the American ranks. Because black GIs are enjoying the absence of segregation and the white GIs do not like it.Then one night a massive street fight leaves a black soldier lying dead in the street, and the situation explodes into violent confrontation.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Nunn, Judy<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>[Place of publication not identified] : Penguin Random House Australia Audio, 2019<br />1 online resource (1 audio file)<br /><br />Web - (Western Downs Libraries) - eAudiobook - BorrowBox - eAudiobook - eAudiobook - Borrow this eAudiobook - DUMMY<br /> https://westerndowns.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=243439&CF=BIB In Judy Nunn's latest compelling novel, compassion meets bigotry, hatred meets love, and ultimately despair meets hope on the windswept shores of Australia.

A British airbase in the middle of nowhere; an atomic weapons testing ground; an army of raw youth led by powerful, ambitious men, a cocktail for disaster. Such is Maralinga in the spring of 1956.

Commissioned by a Dutch noblewoman as a gift to her beloved, the locket becomes a symbol of strength and inspiration for the woman as she struggles to survive the tragic wreck of the Batavia off the West Australian coast, and endure the hideous events that followed. By the time the survivors were rescued from the small island on which they had sought shelter they were either speechless with horror or had been driven mad by the atrocities they had witnessed. A young passenger resolves to escape and is given the locket as a good luck charm. This legendary story of disaster and depravity is told in alternating chapters with the story of the Galloway family, station owners, and the story of Darwin itself, from the day it was bombed by Japanese fighter planes during WW2 and nearly flattened, to that extraordinary Christmas Day in 1974 when Darwin was again devastated by fury from the sky: this time in the form of Cyclone Tracey. Following the course of the locket and the fortunes of the Galloway clan, Judy Nunn tells a breathtaking story of disaster, courage and passion and that Top End spirit that never says die. A priceless 16th century locket threads two riveting stories together in this saga set in and around Darwin, Australias ultimate frontier town. Commissioned by a Dutch noblewoman as a gift to her beloved, the locket becomes a symbol of strength and inspiration for the woman as she struggles to survive the tragic wreck of the Batavia off the West Australian coast, and endure the hideous events that followed. By the time the survivors were rescued from the small island on which they had sought shelter they were either speechless with horror or had been driven mad by the atrocities they had witnessed. A young passenger resolves to escape and is given the locket as a good luck charm.

People were drawn there from all over the world, settling to start afresh or to seek their fortunes. They called it Kal. In a story as breathtaking and as sweeping as the land itself, bestselling author Judy Nunn brings Kal magically to life through the lives of two families, one Australian and one Italian. The Australian family are the Brearleys: Maudie, who runs the miners' pub in Kalgoorlie and who was brought up in a tent on the goldfields; her husband 'Flash Harry' Brearley, charismatic conman and shyster; and his young son, Jack. The Italian family are the Giannis, railway workers from a small village in the Italian Alps, who dream of making a better life for themselves 'at the bottom of the world' after they hear about the Western Australian goldrush of the late 1880s.
