A huge snake takes refuge under the body of a

napping grandfather. A sixteen year old girl keeps three hundred head of cattle

together for a couple of weeks without loosing a beast. A young Aboriginal boy

witnesses a man being thrown off a train onto a remote railway siding for being

Jewish. Two trackers lead a police party deep into the desert to apprehend a

murderer and rescue a young, abducted woman. From station life to dusty outback

towns, Clarrie Cameron recreates the campfire yarns of his past on the page by

deftly weaving together anecdote, wit and allegory. He captures the

peculiarities and contradictions of human nature which readers all over the

world will instantly recognise.
