Dale and Tomias are best mates. Tomias's ancestors have lived at Long Hole since the Dreaming. Dales's grandfather was the first white man to settle here. This is their country. An exciting, funny first novel about children moving between Aboriginal and white cultures.
Best friends Dale and Tomias live in the outback of Australia's Northern Territory. They have a deep love for the wild, ancient land that is their home, and move easily between their two cultures - Aboriginal and white. Both for both boys, growing up is neither easy nor safe. Ages 11+.
