Their lives were wholly concerned with droving sheep or cattle, often for hundreds of miles from property to property or to railway trucking yards. They were without roots, but they lived and thought for each other, and for the animals who formed so important a part of their lives. But when the drought struck, there was no droving to be done and the Bates family had just one aim, to try to save their own animals, for on them their livelihood depended.

'Outside, he sniffed the smells that hung in the quiet stillness - the bitter-sweet peppercorns and the tangy saltbush ... Even the dust had a scent of far-off places, as if it had drifted miles. It made you think of warm, red earth being blown along by the wind.

'In this timeless story, a boy struggles to come to terms with the loneliness of the Australian outback and the ruthlessness of living and working on a remote property. With Brolga the cattle dog and her pup Rags as his only companions, the boy begins a journey of self-discovery. It is a journey that will take him outside the confines of the Yamboorah cattle station, and into the vast, unrelenting sandhills beyond.'
