He heads north to the gulf country of outback Australia in search of wild brumbies, and finds himself camped by a river with three Aboriginal elders.

These books are something I never thought that i would like they tell a story that could be real. They hold a truth that not many see and this is a window into it. Anything to do with horses is hard and this just highlights some of the problems of it was but amazing story telling
