		<description>Hello to you all.

I just stumbled across this site and I must say this blog is most interesting.

May I introduce myself. I am Romona Hilliger, Australian author of bush romance.   At this point in time, I live in Melbourne, Australia. We have all four seasons here and right now it’s Autumn. In the Northern Territory of Australia, which is my home, there are only two seasons known as The Dry and The Wet. 

My husband and I criss-cross the Outback of Australia, both with his work and on holidays. Discovering the magnificence of wind-crafted outcrops of granite and sandstone, vast ochre plains stretching to eternity, the wilderness of Tasmania and our interest escalated. We extended our trips to gold and gemstone-fossicking adventures and following in the tracks of explorers. The notes I kept translated into a series of travel articles for a magazine and then, I realised what better backdrop than this sun-drenched wilderness for conjuring up stories of unique blend–love up against impossible odds. 

While most of my books are set in the Outback, I also have one set in India during the dying days of the British Raj. Research was done through several visits and actual experiences of my own family who lived there at the time. My interests are animal welfare, both domestic and wildlife. I am a WILDLIFE WARRIOR. A Steve Irwin project for the protection of animals, worldwide.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to blog with you all.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Cindi said:  I have always had a keen interest in the “Outback!” It seems like a remote jungle/survival, almost barbaric land. Yet, there is mystery and beauty in the Outback.&lt;/em&gt;  

Well said, Cindi.  Crocodile Dundee and Paul Hogan really made an impact, didn&#039;t they?  Talk about iconic.  And thank you so much for your praise of The Rugged Loner.  I&#039;m so glad that Tomas and Angie hit the spot.

Hi there, Theresa and Theresa.  Another vote for the outback, one for the Tropical North, and one for the Wilderness.  The stats geek in me wants to turn this into a poll (another of unscientific ones) so let&#039;s see:  yep, as I suspected.  The outback &quot;won&quot; hands-down with double the votes.  The other 5 are all about equal.
