Echoes of Araluen
Four strangers. One uneasy bargain. A journey upriver into a world where secrets run deep, loyalties bend, and a place spoken of only as myth waits somewhere beyond the mist.
Some Journeys Lead To Places No Map Can Find.
Hans has crossed the world following whispers of a guru, a commune, and a daughter who disappeared into the Australian outback. What he finds instead is Rat — a man fleeing dangers of his own.
Their paths lead them to Samuel, a river houseboat captain who knows more than he reveals, and Inca, a young woman escaping the life she has finally chosen to leave behind.
Together, the four strangers push upriver toward Araluen — a mysterious place said to be the final gate before Utopia itself.
Some will find what they're looking for. None of them will find what they expect.
