Description:
Two 1950s-era South Carolina children, a brother and sister, are stranded in the Australian outback after a plane crash. They encounter an aboriginal boy who is engaged in his walkabout—a six-month period of isolation as an initiation into manhood. Broader themes in the story present an initiation into tolerance and survival in an alien, hostile, and demanding world.
