Book excerpt: The River Picnic was one of the biggest events that ever took place in Coongahoola, and even wilder than the street party the night Malcolm Fraser became Prime Minister. The adults spoke about it in whispers and only when they thought us kids were out of earshot. All I knew for sure, apart from the fact that Stu Bailey¿s wife drowned that night in the Bagooli River, was that four times more babies than usual were born the following October and not all of them looked like their dads. A girl called Gracie. A small town called Coongahoola, with the dark Bagooli River running through it. The Bleeders ¿ hundreds of `Believers¿ who move in and set up on the banks of the river. Who start buying up the town, and winning souls. The River Children ¿ born in the aftermath of the infamous River Picnic. They start to go missing, one after the other.
