About this title

Synopsis

Danny Dawson lives in the middle of the Australian outback. His older brother Jonny was killed in an accident last year but no-one ever talks about it.
And now it''s time for the annual muster. The biggest event of the year on the cattle station, and a time to sort the men from the boys. But this year things will be different: because Jonny''s gone and Danny''s determined to prove he can fill his brother''s shoes; because their fourteen-year-old sister is pregnant; because it''s getting hotter and hotter and the rains won''t come; because cracks are beginning to show . . .
When Danny''s mum admits she can''t cope, the family hires a housegirl to help out - a wide-eyed English backpacker. She doesn''t have a clue what she''s let herself in for. And neither do they.
