The Shack on Serenity Mountain

Nicknamed Poona (Aboriginal name meaning grey headed man) by his new found much younger, beautiful girlfriend, Kia, the protagonist of this tale relished the fact that he had bought an old shack at the top of Serenity Mountain. This was the change of life he so desperately looked for after two failed marriages. Kia was just as free and untamed as the Panther that protected her. Poona had to adjust to an outback life, being totally detached from the civilisation of Queensland Australia that he was accustomed to. With Kia's help and being accepted by the tribe's elders, he grew to love his lifestyle more than anything. Kia had a child, Kody. Beyond Poona and Kia's death, Kody relates the story of his Mother, Poona, Barkoo the panther and the magic of that shack on Serenity Mountain.
