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.

  • When we went to Melboourne with our son and his family and stayed at the same resort was a great time getting to know each other.


  • Love going to Coffins Bay! There was no tv. Games night nearly every night. Fun, laughter!!! Bonfire nights in the winter, cooking s’mores and other wonderful delights in the coals. Sing songs around the fire. Great memories!


  • Going to the beach with he family, so much fun.


  • Tasmania when i was 15. I didn’t appreciate it as I was a turd teen but I remember how beautiful it was now.


  • First time away from the dairy farm to Sydney was a total eye opener. Every thing and everyone appeared different from what eas my normal


  • We stayed on the Gold coast for the 1988 expo , on the way travelling there we pulled over and got macdonald for our four children. As we wanted to get out and stretch our legs hubby was determined to find shade , we travelled for almost an hour . Food cold and lifetime teasing for dad 🙂


  • Travelling to Japan and Korea with my sister and our hubby’s as both newlyweds to explore and do a professional wedding photo shoot. So much fun and the best experience.


  • We used to go camping down the south coast, this time my brother and I were sharing a blow up mattress and he wet the bed!


  • Taking my 2 daughters to Queensland to meet my side of the family for the first time when they were 2 and 5. They got to see so much on the drive up from South Australia to Queensland and back. It was amazing to show them some of the countryside hope to do more soon


  • my aunties, uncles and cousins went to Halls Gap for a holiday. We all went for a bush walk, had bbqs, stayed a few days and it was sadly the last family holiday with everyone there, as some members of my family aren’t here anymore. Suicide by 2 members 🙁


  • when we went home for Christmas where all our family members were present many had come from overseas


  • Surprising my girls with a visit to a Big Cat Sanctuary. We were personally invited. The looks on their face when they were told they could play with tiger cubs is something we talk about often. Memories were created on that trip and so many smiles remain.


  • Driving down to Cornwall in the UK with a car full of stuff surrounding me and my brother and enjoying the occasional summer sun!


  • My mother took us to New Zealand, we did Helicopter flights over the glaziers, walked the glaziers, did the speed boat Jet Over, had luge races, seen snow for the first time and we built a snowman – so many happy memories of us all together.


  • I think when we went to Uluru. What an amazing and unique scenery. We walked so much, enjoyed the tranquility and silence of the place. And we even saw a thorny devil crossing the road. 🙂 Don’t let me even start with the gorgeous sunsets!!


  • When I was a kid we would travel from the country to the beach and it was such an exciting time. Spending time with family without mum and dad going to work, or regular activities of daily life.


  • Taking a slow trip around New Zealand. Seeing the wonderful sights around every corner – not rushing, taking our time. No stress and easy going.


  • I was lucky enough to be able to go to Melbourne with my daughter, Mum and my cousin, we laughed and ate our way through the week. the melbourne eye and artvo and shopping were some of the things we enjoyed
