Children' Description
A groundbreaking graphic novel unlike anything ever seen before. A naive young boy goes on a journey of self discovery as a stockman in Far North Queensland. This is the Real Australian Outback - a harsh world where life can be brutal for anyone who is different. In an exquisitely illustrated collage of memory and dreamscape, the boy confronts a huge, rogue bull and realises he and society must acknowledge the errors of the past before fully embracing the future. Ottley's sublime illustrations evoke the rich landscape of Australia, rough but beautiful - a land full of contradictions. This is not only a book for children, but for graphic novel enthusiasts, art connoisseurs and anyone who appreciates the richness and depth of Australian landscape.
