Trying to identify a novel or novella!

This is probably a very long shot.

I remember reading a book (I think it was in English class) when I was about 12 years old (which would be 1979-ish so it's older than that).

Setting was far northern #Australia, main characters were children. I think they were stranded, and I think the book ended with scenes of all of them walking along the beach, then later walking on the beach but there was one less, and so on, with the implication being that they gradually died.

I've heard of the #ArnhemLand novels by Ann E Wells and I wonder if it's one of those, but can't find any copies or even synopses to test my theory.

All ideas welcome!

@bookstodon I shop ALL of the online booksellers, but recently came up on a new one to me: https://bookoutlet.com/books

They currently have a $5.99 sale on fiction, and the sale titles are surprisingly popular.

On a related note, if you need a specific book, and want to do a price comparison across various sellers and conditions, I have found https://www.bookfinder.com to be very helpful.

I already knew that #BookFinder is owned by #Amazon but I should have guessed that #AbeBooks as well.

It’s been a quarter century since I founded BookFinder.com, back during the Web 1.0 days.

Ken Whyte told some of that story, and the larger context around it, on his blog last year.
