Clarry Hazzard
Daughter to Clarry Hazzard and Jean Hazzard, and great-aunt to Sadie Hazzard. Sarah, nicknamed Sadie, is a young teenager in 1933, the year when Gerald Mortlock murders Jimmy Raven. She is drawn into helping cover up the murder by her father, Clarry, who uses her to destroy traces of the crime. When the contemporary Sadie Hazzard travels to the past, she inhabits her great-aunt Sarah Louise’s body, and this is how she learns about the events surrounding Jimmy Raven’s murder. It is through Sarah Louise’s body that Sadie also manages to locate Jimmy’s “special things,” the sacred objects that he carried and which were lost after his death, so that she can return them to Auntie Lily and other members of the Aboriginal community.

[…] Dad had fought the whole town council, when the war memorial was built, to have Jimmy’s name put on it, too. They said it couldn’t be done, because Jimmy hadn’t enlisted in Boort; he’d joined up down in Melbourne. But Dad said he belonged in Boort as much as anyone, and deserved to have his name up there with the rest. After all, Bert Murchison had joined up in Melbourne, too, and no one said he should be left off.
