O knihe
A young anthropology student is inspired to research his own Aboriginal culture and ancestral history for his thesis. He visits his native territory where an old scar tree bears the impression of a human face resembling his late grandmother, an elder of his nation. After Rex falls asleep under the tree, the bush comes to life and the old tree he referred to as Gran Yan, shares stories about the Booran tribe of Yaraan Grove with the younger, regenerated forest. There he learns more about his traditional language and the character of his people...their customs, spirituality and intuitiveness, filled with adventure and a touch of Dreamtime fantasy. In part three of the book, Rex needs more evidence for his research, and returns to the sacred location where Gran Yan opens up about an earlier generation of the tribe, where some their journeys to other nations, are whimsical entertainment, while the characters are made relatable. In the final section of the three-part story, Rex is required to describe Indigenous cultural adjustments following British colonisation. He comes by his late grandfather's collection of family records dating back to the settlement of Brisbane. Rex gains enough information to complete his thesis, and is directed to evidence that solves a crime committed twenty years previous, leading to his grandfather's death.
