Someone Else's Country

About this book

In this fearless, funny, and profoundly moving Australian story, a small boy on a remote cattle station begins a profound journey into an Australia few whitefellas know. It is a journey into another place—a genuine meeting ground for black and white Australia and a place built on deep personal engagement and understanding.
