Description:
'Listen to me,' my mother says. 'They've let off an atom bomb today. Right here in W.A. Atom bombs worry the blazes out of me, and I want you at home.'
In the sleepy and conservative 1950s the British began a series of nuclear tests in the Montebello archipelago off the west coast of Australia. Even today, few people know about the three huge atom bombs that were detonated there, but they lodged in the consciousness of the young Robert Drewe and would linger with him for years to come.
In this moving sequel to The Shark Net, and with his characteristic frankness, humour and cinematic imagery, Drewe travels to the Montebellos to visit the territory that has held his imagination since childhood. He soon finds himself overtaken by memories and reflections on his own 'islomania'. In the aftermath of both man-made and natural events that have left a permanent mark on the Australian landscape and psyche - from nuclear tests and the mining boom to shark attacks along the coast - Drewe examines how comfortable and familiar terrain can quickly become a site of danger, and how regeneration and love can emerge from chaos and loss.
' Montebello has this wonderfully novelistic flow that draws you back to another time. William Yeoman, West Australian
'Superb writing and skilful interweaving of the different strands in this book make it a pleasure to read.' Lisa Hill, ANZ LitLovers
'Creating ... a complex picture out of discrete though related narrative chunks ... Montebello is a fragmentary book but a perfectly integrated work of art. Drewe's literary instincts are as

Sturdy
Color: No Stuffing Blue Eel
It’s has held up pretty good for my aggressive chewer dog. She typically tore these types of toys apart immediately. One of the ears she pulled off right away but the toy itself has stayed intakes (so far). It keeps her occupied long enough and she drags it everywhere with her.

size is small
Color: No Stuffing Blue Eel
Smaller than I anticipated but my dog enjoys it. After 3 days it is already getting ripped a little bit where the treats get hidden so not sure how long it will last. My dog is about 40 lbs.

5 Star Product vs. Destroyer of All Toys for Dogs
Style: Squirrel
Hey, just wanted to check in and let you know we got the product, it's exactly as it was described. Any other dog would have had this toy for years. Our dog bit the leg off and found both squeakers free of the toy within 10 minutes of having it unsupervised.
He really is a good boy, and you make a really good product. He just has this super power to demolish ANY toy that's made for an "aggressive chewer". It was worth the shot!

Almost Indestructable.
Style: Squirrel
We have an aggressive chewer that has yet to be able to crack this one open. It's so indestructible that ours gives up on it and only plays with it infrequently. So the minus 1 star is more about the dogs preference, maybe. But make no mistake, this is made better than any other toy I have ever seen.
