20 lucky winners will receive a copy of Bluebottle by Belinda Castles valued at $29.99 each, thanks to Allen & Unwin.

On a sweltering day in a cliff-top beach shack, Jack and Lou Bright grow suspicious about the behaviour of their charismatic, unpredictable father, Charlie. A girl they know has disappeared, and as the day unfolds, Jack’s eruptions of panic, Lou’s sultry rebellions and their little sister Phoebe’s attention-seeking push the family towards revelation.

Twenty years later, the Bright children have remained close to the cliff edges, russet sand and moody ocean of their childhood. Behind the beautiful surfaces of their daily lives lies the difficult landscape of their past, always threatening to break through. And then, one night in late summer, they return to the house on the cliff…

Gripping and evocative, Bluebottle is a story of a family bound by an inescapable past, from the award-winning author of The River Baptists and Hannah and Emil.

Both girls were also sea sick and I couldn’t help them as I was so ill. My husband was running around the ferry trying to help us all. I dreaded the trip home.

  • Several years ago,
    To Disneyland we did go,
    Staying there for a week and a day,
    We had lots of time in which to play,
    We went on rides galore,
    Returning again to go on more,
    Other days we would just watch and cheer,
    The Disney characters that did appear.


  • Any holiday that involves the beach has been memorable… First one to come to mind was when I was abit younger, my sister and I went away with two of her kids… We just chilled and had an awesome time together.


  • I remember going to the Gold Coast with my family and it was fantastic for a country kid like me to see the amazing things there.


  • My most memorable family was being able to take my family to Brazil and Argentina as I won the trip and to give my children their first overseas holiday. We had a wonderful time and saw and experienced so much.


  • Most memorable is a recent one to halls gap, relaxing and fun the whole week!!


  • The only one we’ve had was a weekend in Albany which was life changing for us


  • Taking my Aussie children to England to visit my family in England for the first time, and for the grandparents to see them and spoil them


  • Bali 2012. First time the whole family had left Australia and we fell in love with the place!


  • This is the key to time management – to see the value of every moment.
    You cannot add more minutes to the day, but you can utilize each one to the fullest.


  • Going to Inverloch where they still are finding dinosaur bones and seeing the real Dino footprint fossil near the beach, amazing!
