Desperate loneliness, or blissful solitude? In your wanderings through time and space you may find yourself alone in very different circumstances. You may be loneliest in a crowd, or let nature connect you with the universe and beyond. In these stories you will share the experiences of women, children, old soldiers, a ghost, a murderer and some cats, as they wander through the landscapes of south-eastern Australia, with glimpses of Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.
