AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The story is alive with adventure–gun fights with bushrangers, shipwreck, the clash of the blacks with the all-conquering whites, the battle of wits between rivals for the great pastures of the cattle lands.

'The principal theme is the experiment made by one of the cattle barons who educated an aboriginal boy on an equal footing with his own white son, and the consequences, which were piquant in their effect on the lives of the people of the story.'
