Is this the story Don Watson was always meant to write? It begins 50 years ago, at the fledgling La Trobe University where young people were fired up with passionate intensity and protesting the Vietnam War. It tracks the return from Vietnam of a man who would discover, in the isolation of Arnhem Land, how old and new, colonised and coloniser, rigid and adaptable could meet.
