The story follows Harry Walford, a frustrated and poorly paid ranch hand who refuses to accept his low standing in life. In a desperate bid for dignity, independence, and pride, Harry concocts a daring scheme: to drive 1,500 head of stolen cattle across 1,200 miles of treacherous, sun-baked terrain. As he battles the constant threat of deadly thirst and a punishing landscape, Harry forms an unexpected, poignant bond with a prized pedigree bull—the heart of the herd. Meanwhile, the suspense tightens as they are relentlessly pursued by Wooly, a legendary Aboriginal tracker determined to bring them to justice, where a hangman’s noose awaits. Masterfully blending atmospheric tension with character-driven drama, Wales—a former cattle-grazier himself—delivers an authentic and thrilling snapshot of human resilience and ambition. This rare 1985 vintage hardcover edition is a must-read classic of Australian historical fiction that brilliantly captures the untamed spirit of the bush.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820230324443,"sku":"2026200006370-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/646cb6f7-c0bc-48e3-830a-1304ae3add39.png?v=1780054794","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006370-secondhand-harry","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
