Legacy of Limga continues the story of a family living in a small rural community with a gold-mining history in Queensland, Australia. The people in the story are all fictional, but the historical events are accurate. This story looks back from a 2015 perspective to retrace the legacy of a little girl born on the banks of the Mary River in Gympie in 1869. It will uncover her ongoing journey of faith, family, love, and heartache as the whole town grows from an insignificant small backblock town to a city through two world wars and the unfolding of incredible changes that swept the whole Australian continent during the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. This is the story of community courage and of Christian tenacity, but it is also the story of family and a legacy that resonates through generations that is more than about material possessions. Legacy relates to everyone who believes that love is stronger than hatred and that true courage is not just about triumphing in hard times but the hope that rises towards an even better tomorrow. Legacy is a journey through generations, and it traces people's strength through the historical events, many of them tragic and challenging, in their lifetimes.

Marranga Limga is a story set in the early settlement of a gold-mining town in Queensland, Australia. It begins in 1880. It is the story of a young couple's arrival with their small son and the hardships and heartache they share with the community. It is Nika's story. Born on the bank of the Mary River she has a unique path to follow. Child of an Irish miner and a proud Aboriginal native woman, it is her story of identity. In the midst of the town's history of pubs, miners, railway workers, timber carriers, brothels, and conflicts, there is the courage of a people trying to forge not just their present but establish something meaningful for the future. Tom, the travelling evangelist, joins other Christians in this mix of life, living, hardship, and conflict. His story is a journey to find not only a place but his own integrity and purpose. Marranga Limga is fictional. There is no similarity between any person presently living or now dead. All of the people and even the promise expressed are fiction. The background events have historical accuracy although the flood date was not given because several occurred during a short period. The purpose of the flood event was to bring the story to its climax. Certainly the courage, faith, hope, and tenacity of the Gympie community is truth. Marranga Limga relates to us all-a common desire to forge a meaningful path and the hope for better.
