"At the Aboriginal camp, a quarter of a mile from the Brents' family homestead, the corroboree fires cast an eerie glow over the assembled tribesmen and the tall, commanding figure of their leader, Tajalli, silhouetted against the timeless backdrop of the Australian bush.
This fascinating tale of the beauty and the harshness of Australia's wild Cape York Peninsula was given a Commended Award by the Children's Book Council of Australia in 1978."
