Whistler's Bones

<p><strong> </strong><strong>At the age of fifteen Charlie left his home in Bendigo and signed on as a drover with Nat Buchanan. Two years later he was a key man on one of Australia’s greatest cattle drives – the Durack family’s two-year journey from Cooper’s Creek Queensland – to the Kimberley. </strong></p><p><strong>Stumbling on Charlie’s largely unknown story and filling in the gaps with fiction the author has created a novel unique in Australian literature. An unprecedented adventure and a passionate love story – Whistler's Bones is both a celebration of the good things in the settlement of Northern Australia – and a damning indictment of the bad.</strong></p>
