In 1955, a young Colin Macleod went to the Northern Territory and took on the job of patrol officer registering "full-blood" Aboriginals as wards of the State.

Colin Macleod looks back with rare and often shocking honestly at his travels through the Northern Territory, his encounters with tribal Indigenous Australians, drovers, cattle barons and dispossessed fringe dwellers.
