“Nobody else knew it, but the creek was magic. There was one bend in particular where the banks widened to form a craggy circle; the bed beneath had been formed millions of years ago when the earth sighed and shifted and great rock slabs were brought together jaggedly, so what was shallow at the rims deepened and darkened suddenly at its center. And that's where Vivien had made her discovery. She'd been fishing with the glass jars she'd pilfered from Mum's kitchen and kept now in the rotten log behind the ferns. Vivien stored all her treasures inside that log. There was always something to find within the creek's waters: eels and tadpoles, rusted old buckets from the gold-rush days. Once, she'd even found a set of false teeth.”

“The choices we make in youth can sow seeds that shape our future, for better or worse. Rebellion, dishonesty, and destructive behaviors may offer temporary thrills, but they often lead to long-term consequences. The decisions we make have the power to build or destroy relationships, opportunities, and even our own well-being. Prioritizing integrity, responsibility, and self-control can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. By making informed, wise choices, we can cultivate a brighter future and avoid the pitfalls that can derail our lives.”
