Always One Step Ahead of the Storm

An 8-Year-Old’s Down Under Adventure

By: Phoebe Wilby

With cyclones Wanda and Tracy acting as bookends, the O'Briens swap their comfortable suburban home in Brisbane for a 17.5-foot caravan and the adventures of a lifetime. Travel along with Phoebe, her mum, Stephanie, and the rest of her family, as she takes us along for the ride, travelling across Western New South Wales, into Victoria, through South Australia and across The Nullarbor Plain into Western Australia - and then back home and up the Queensland coast! Although decades have passed since that trip, Phoebe relies on her own memories, flavoured with a little Google research and seasoned with her mother's memories, to describe travelling across the vast country of Australia. In her owns words: "When all is said and done, my memory of 1974 is of a fun-filled, educational trip across the bottom half of this great country I still call home, wherever I happen to live." Perhaps her story can inspire you to live your dream, whatever it is, and wherever it will take you.

Time is of the Essence

By: Phoebe Wilby

Time marches on. Use it wisely... These stories all have ‘time’ as their theme. Some deal with a specific point in time while others explore time in other ways. For example, A Moment In Time is a mystery with overtones of ages past, A Modern Fairy Tale tells a light-hearted story of how two people might meet, and Bonnie and Claude explores how relationships might develop over time. I have included stories resulting from interviews I had with three ex World War 1 soldiers, two of whom were imprisoned during the war, one in Europe and the other in the South Pacific. My favourite of these results from a 2002 interview with Eric Abraham, who at the time was 102 years old. I wrote a short piece about some of his experiences, intending to write more. He died a few years later and I regret not taking the time to speak with him again. I hope you enjoy this collection!

Point of View: It's all relative, really

By: Phoebe Wilby

This collection of short stories, poetry and essays by award winning author, Phoebe Wilby highlights the truth in the statement that “everyone has a story to tell”. Phoebe lays a fresh perspective on the ordinary, and not so ordinary, events of everyday life in her 13 stories, seven poems and three essays. Her writing style emphasises the point that even the mundane can become interesting depending on the points of view of the reader and the story teller. It’s all relative, really. The collection is named for “Point of View”, her winning entry of the 2002 Golden Key International Honour Society Literary Achievement Award for Excellence in Fiction. “Point of View” is a fictionalised account of the effect of the September 11 tragedy in 2001 on the lives of three survivors and clearly demonstrates the theme of this collection.

With cyclones Wanda and Tracy acting as bookends, the O'Briens swap their comfortable suburban home in Brisbane for a 17.5 foot caravan and the adventures of a lifetime. Travel along with Phoebe, her mum, Stephanie, stepdad, Glen, older sister, Babette, younger siblings, Benny, Becky and Danny, as she takes us along for the ride, travelling across Western New South Wales, into Victoria, through South Australia and across The Nullarbor Plain into Western Australia - and then back home and up the Queensland Coast! Although nearly 45 years have passed since that trip, Phoebe relies on her own memories, flavoured with a little Google research and seasoned with her mother's memories, to describe how it felt to see this vast country of Australia. In her owns words: "When all is said and done, my memory of 1974 is of a fun-filled, educational trip across the bottom half of this great country I still call home, wherever I happen to live."
