The Milingimbi Adventure

Really enjoyed reading Esther Murray The Milingimbi Adventure, it held my attention the whole way through. It’s a huge challenge working in remote areas and this showed what may have to be faced. I loved the respect given to the Aboriginal people.

Review Esther Murray has written an absorbing story about life in the Top End town of Milingimbi. It is based around the experiences of an Irish woman Mary and her friend Amanda, an English woman, who face a range of incidents very foreign to them in the exquisite yet harsh environment of the Top End. Murray uses the exotic environment to inform readers of the beauty but danger present at Milingimbi. She also demonstrates a strong understanding of indigenous Australia, its culture and particularly the difficulties facing its women. The plot is exciting as there is always something occurring for the emergency nurses and supporting police to deal with, ranging from crime, accidents , death to loving relationships. The authentic characters are mostly from overseas, down South or Darwin. Most are seeking adventure or a meaning in their life. They cope with homesickness, career and romantic issues aided by their supportive friends. Murray shows a clear understanding of these issues in the creation of her characters. The story is educative yet entertaining , leaving us with an informed view of life in the Top End. Richard Davis
