Summary[]

From the back of the book:

Haunted by the Past...
The land down under breeds them tough and hardy - none moreso than the Garou. But the hard outback blisters even their thick skins - scours their souls. The Garou committed a great wrong here long ago, and the repercussions still haunt them. The Garou must make amends for their past lest they forever remain strangers to the Dreamtime, the spirit world of Australia.
Hunted by the Future
But time is running out; the Wyrm is on the march. From the high towers of Pentex to the parched outback deserts, its minions squirm forth to spread decay and ruin. The corruption of a continent is at hand...
Rage Across Australia is a regional sourcebook and chronicle setting for Werewolf: The Apocalypse. It includes:
  • The history of the Garou in Australia.
  • The wild and weird creatures of the Outback.
  • The secrets of the lost Bunyip tribe.
