Publishers Description: Two brothers from a famous pioneering pastoralist family struggle to keep alive the family dream and their commitment to the vast Kimberley region of NW Australia. They are the grandchildren of the great cattleman who first developed the vast cattle stations of the rugged Kimberley ranges. But now it is the era of WW2 with strict petrol rationing and shortages of everything as they strive to re-build, install irrigation and re-plant the lost native grasses on their remote experimental station.The two brothers strive for integrity rather than wealth. They want the land to be kept true to its ancient self and not permit it to be destroyed by profiteers. Perhaps these two brothers, Brain and John Galway, were the pioneers of the fight against land degradation and the new struggle for ecologically sustainable development back in the 1940s.
