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.

  • stayed in caravan park hours of family fun swimming, laughing etc.


  • My partner and I went to a hotel with our son for a joint birthday present on my birthday. The problem was, I came down with salmonella and spent the night in the bathroom until I collapsed on the floor and was rushed to hospital. Holiday over before it began 🙁


  • My only family holiday with my parents and sisters when i was younger was to Cornwall when we were living in the UK. It was absolutely freezing but as all kids do and they don’y care we jumped into the icy cold water and enjoyed the freezing temperatures of a UK summer HaHa!


  • Going to New York with all the girls from the Family after we lost a family member. It’s a place we’d all wanted to go and it didn’t disappoint at all. We had the most amazing time and it’s cemented forever in our memories


  • My most memorable holiday is when the whole family went down to the snow and spend the week playing and camping at the snow fields. Family time was definitely one of the best memories i have of my childhood. Games, laughter and food the best combination in the world


  • We took our kids to Disneyland after six years of saving and it was worth every sacrifice for the amazing memories!


  • Taking our son to South Africa to meet his family for the first time. It was so special and emotional for all of us.


  • Going tomGold Coast for the first time. So many big buildings and beautiful beaches I remember it just like yesterday.


  • meeting up at the family reunion while on a trip overseas


  • My most memorable family holiday was to Hawaii. A simply magical place to visit.


  • Going to Scarborough is my memorable family holiday.


  • Went to Adelaide on the train. It was the most relaxing holiday and so much to do in Adelaide. Accommodation was great and we had wonderful family time which was the most important thing.


  • Our most memorable family holiday was camping at Honeymoon Pool in WA just one week before Christmas. We will never ever forget the icy cold waters we had to jump into for our showers. Didn’t matter if it was 40 degrees out in the city that water was something ????????????????


  • As money is tight we have not yet been on a holiday. But we have camped out backyard and had the full experience


  • Taking my children to American to meet my family for the first time. Alabama extended family, long long road trip, Waffle House (waffles for breakfast???) and lots of love!


  • Going down to the snow, but intending to visit in-laws and getting snowed in.


  • Road tripping up the coast from Melbourne to Lennox Head, Byron Bay and Currumbin. Australian beaches are amazing and we love showing our kids what a beautiful country we get to live in!


  • Bali, taking the kids overseas for the first time.


  • Technically this hasn’t happened yet, but later this year the four of us are driving up to Noosa because we want to show the little ones where Mummy & Mummy met, holidayed and fell in love. Wish us luck!


  • My most memorable family holiday is going down south and spending freezing mornings in front of the campfire, no internet, so the kids had to talk to us. It was good to reconnect with each other.
