"The Man in the Red Turban is Ganda Singh, the Indian hawker.  He is known and liked by hundreds along Australia's Murray River.
Times are hard.  It is 1933, and many have no work.  This may be the last journey Ganda will make in his great wagon.  Travelling with him are tough young Griff Williams, whose father is in some sort of trouble with the police, and Bronwen, Griff's lively cousin.
They meet some remarkable people, including a few amazing rogues, and the adventures of the three - and of their horses - make hilarious reading."
