The Zone

The Zone is a walled-off area of Sydney, centred on a disused railway station. Humans must carry ID cards and are free to enter and exit the Zone, but hairypeople are restricted to living within - many in the station itself, underground. The border of the Zone is policed by the Containment Authority, who also track and capture any hairies who escape. Before Emergence Day, the Zone was home mostly to Aboriginal humans, though others lived there too. Many of them remained in the Zone after Emergence Day.

Waruu West acts as a community leader for the people of the Zone, and manages to keep an uneasy peace between humans and hairies with the help of his friend Harry. Dr Charlotte Cleary runs a medical clinic inside the Zone.
