    Chapter 4

    Sad but true! The seed idea for this section of the Nexus tales was firmly planted six or seven years ago when a First Australian dance and truth telling group came to my town and I learnt how dispossession of most of the western half of my state occurred in just over a decade. (The ideas for the Faerie Realms section were cooking well before that).

    Thanks so much for your enthusiasm and support, @Philippe. This new part of the story is (mostly) confined the Human World so the 'mystery and excitement' might present somewhat differently. At any rate, I sure hope you enjoy it.
  17. Widderkin VOE. Chapter 5. "No, Woorawa! The National Government claims ultimate sovereignty. Disregard any fine sounding words of recognition and cultural understanding. In the final analysis the government takes its sovereignty over the continent as a given. The prospect of so much wealth will make the sacrifice of a few minor cultural sites nothing more than the price of progress." Tan arced up at that. "Minor? You shouldn't say that, Professor.
