Ghost Gully is a story conceived as a good idea but poorly executed.  The author had an interesting topic to play with.  Aboriginal beliefs and spirits combined with a white man who possessed a special gift.  That gift was the ability to connect on a psychic level with forces beyond the grave.

What let this novel down was the blandness of the writing.  The imagery that the prose created just did not convey the richness the author intended.  I felt the story had good potential but never exploited it to the full.
