In the Musgrave Ranges

Two teenage friends travel into a remote desert cattle country and become drawn into a sequence of frontier episodes. They encounter camel teams, wild cattle and mounted mustering, face severe natural hazards including tornadoes, sandstorms and extreme thirst, and depend on local help for rescue. Rising tension comes from stealthy attacks, a dangerous bull and a pursuit that leads to a lonely outpost where rivalries reach a climax. Encounters with local Indigenous people, signaling methods and a ritual dance appear alongside themes of survival, loyalty, retribution and growing resourcefulness.
