The search for a missing diary opened a line of cultural enquiry that extended beyond petty jealousy between teenagers to unravelling Australia's fabricated history, steeped in denial of its diaspora ties to the motherland.
"Acacia, why weren't we taught about tall ships from our nearest neighbours sailing to and trading successfully with your mob 233 years before Captain Phillip's First Fleet was viewed on the horizon?" asked Allyson.
"Hey Acacia, was it the official Crown's position when quashing the 1835 Batman Treaty that if it were acknowledged that sovereign owners had the right to influence their land usage as they saw fit, then the Crown's claim to all Australian land would be in doubt?" Toby probed.
Yurinya Wayanbirda knew her sanctioned treks into Yesterday had exposed the collision of mistruths, and firsthand observations from trips back to 1555, 1788, 1955, and 2025 juxtaposed an updated new reality for Acacia, Toby and Allyson.

Great Novel, Great insight, all Australians should read this book. Should be added to the school curriculum.
I find this book will reach out to everyone who reads it. Children will enjoy reading it because it feels as if you are there witnessing everything happening in the past. I highly recommend reading this book.
