Ngurra Home

The third book in Magabala's best-selling series, and sequel to Black Cockatoo and Dirrarn, Ngurra Home follows Mia in her final year of university studying Conservation and Wildlife Science.

 Originally from the Kimberley, Mia balances the pressures of her studies, parttime vet nursing, and volunteering at the local wildlife sanctuary with humour and grace. Before long, Mia is recalled home as her beloved grandfather (jawiji) falls ill.

It is here back on Country where Mia faces family obligations and a reckoning with her brother. This return reinforces everpresent ties to family, Country, and values imparted by a past that holds everyone to account.
