A fascinating, readable book, and ultimately very sad.
The story of Warri and Yatungka, the last of the Mandjildjara people to remain in the Gibson desert, and the rescue mission to find them after very bad drought conditions.
Thought of as the last of the Aborigines living the traditional nomad lifestyle without having had contact with the white man, or the Aboriginal settlements which have replaced their previous way of life.
