"Queensland Cousins" by E.L. Haverfield is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Orban family, particularly focusing on the adventures and everyday lives of the children—Nesta, Eustace, Peter, and baby Becky—who live on a sugar plantation in North Queensland. Themes of family, childhood curiosity, and the challenges of isolation from civilization are prominent, setting the stage for emotional and potentially thrilling encounters as the children navigate their unique environment. At the start of the book, the Orban children eagerly await the arrival of a parcel from England that promises to bring them delightful surprises. Their father, Mr. Orban, announces that he must leave for Brisbane on business, which raises concerns about their mother's well-being during his absence. Nestled in a landscape filled with dangers, including the threat of local Aboriginal populations, the children grapple with fears sparked by stories they have heard while grappling with their excitement over the parcel. The opening reveals a blend of innocence and looming danger, setting the tone for the adventures yet to unfold as they confront the challenges of life in an isolated bush setting.
