Gordon Broughton's adventurous life in the Kimberley's at the turn of the century, working on one of the Durack properties, Lissadel. What unfolds is a picture of a harsh unyielding country. The grim determination of these pioneers and the courage with which they faced isolation, sickness, the Aboriginal population, and the seemingly insurmountable problems of running a large cattle station, are vividly portrayed.
The second part of the book is in the Far East. Broughton describes Shanghai in 1910 and joining an American milling operation in the Philippines.
