As well as the surface geology unexposed rocks form an integral part of the geological story.

Pine Creek Publican Mayse Young
was a legendary beauty and outback identity by the age of twenty. In the Northern Territory of the ‘thirties and ‘forties she reared seven children. She was also ‘Mum’ to hundreds of stockmen, miners and drifters for whom her hotel was the best drinking hole on the track – the meeting place, unofficial bank, library, makeshift surgery and sometimes doghouse for an entire community.
Mayse handled snakes, horses and trucks in her fifty years behind the bar, as well as her regular customers – and she could spin a yarn with the best of them.
Born in the bush, the daughter of an itinerant railway ganger, Mayse lived under canvas as a child, learned to cook in a cap oven, to make a home from packing cases and kerosene tins. Twice in her life she saw the destruction of her home and of all she owned. She survived the heat, dust and floods of the Territory, the Japanese bombs on Darwin during the war and, later, the devastation wrought by Cyclone Tracey.

Was the PTSD a consequence of vicarious trauma from working as a country doctor for over thirty
years? Did it come from his life-long feelings of being an outsider trying to fit in? Or was it a result of trauma experienced by his parents and grandparents in their search for security across three continents?
Or maybe it was his personality type. His nature. Did the qualities that made him a trusted doctor also make him vulnerable to the inevitable impact of caring for people over many years?
Is a double first. It contains the history of a stone-studded paddock that was once a township of Gordon and also the tragic story of Jimmy Bole. Although it was never the author’s original intention to write the history of the town.
