Book Description

In June 1712 the Dutch vessel Zuytdorp was wrecked on the cliffs north of Kalbarri in Western Australia. There were survivors. At the heart of the incident lies one burning question, Did the survivors integrate and settle with the local Malgana Aborigines of Shark Bay? Lennard Currie is a part-Indigenous Australian glass sculptor with an international reputation. He’s dedicated to investigating both his Malgana and Dutch heritages. Believing he may be a descendant of Gerrit de Waal, senior carpenter aboard the Zuytdrop, he meticulously researches Gerrit’s history. In reconstructing Gerrit’s life, Lennard discovers insights that guide his future.
