I’M RESTING AGAINST THE stump of a charred old snow gum as I munch a sandwich. About 100 people are gathered in small groups doing likewise. The air is brisk below an icy blue sky and tufts of snowgrass are about to burst into seed.

Gungahlin's population has exploded in the past 25 years, from around 380 residents in 1991 to an estimated 75,250 in June 2017.
The booming satellite town is the fastest growing district of Canberra with a thriving business centre and 18 suburbs, some still under construction.
In 1995, Klaus and Patricia Hueneke were among the earliest residents of Palmerston, Gungahlin's first residential suburb on the northern outskirts of the city. Written By: Louise Maher
Klaus Hueneke may be one of Canberra's rarest species - a successful small publisher in the digital age.

It’s mid-afternoon and as we stroll into Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, flanking us on both sides are a large number of kangaroos.

Except for the background hum of bulldozers and excavators putting the finishing touches to the nearby suburb of Bonner, it’s also quiet, unnervingly so. Photo: Tim the Yowie Man
What Klaus Hueneke doesn't know about the Australia Alps is writ small. His love affair with the rooftop of the nation began more than 60 years ago.
Ten boxes crammed with the prolific German-born author's letters, notes and diaries were archived by the National Library in 2007, and five years later he was named a Member of the Order of Australia.
