Footprints disappear into the sea. Children are missing. Mothers weep. Ten-year-old Ku knows that Toop's story of Old Snake is no 'Aborigine' myth. The story is real and it has become as dark as Ku's world turned upside down. And now that Toopy is dead it is up to Ku to finish the story she hopes will give Banks purpose and bring him home. As she struggles to imagine a perfect ending Ku discovers the tragic life of Banks who, at the ago of 14, ran away to hide in the sand dines of the north coast. She learns of his bitter loneliness, the ghosts that haunt him and the gentle beauty in his mastery of the sea and dunes. From the ancient Mooon Creek to an idyllic 1960s beach squat and into the new millennium, Beach Spinifex is a story of loss and longing, of love and joy, the story of those enchanted by the spirit of the sea, the saltwater people. That's us!
