Rebirth was a finalist in the Newcastle Herald ‘Summer Stories’ competition. Stories this year were inspired by a choice from three visual stimuli.

The photo that inspired Rebirth showed Xanthorrhoea regeneration in a post-apocalyptic landscape after a firestorm.

Rebirth was first published in the Newcastle Herald on 25 January 2014. It can be read online at the Newcastle Herald website.
