"The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian
landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream Australian
culture. It has been sung in "Little Boy Lost, " brought to life on the big screen
in Picnic at Hanging Rock, immortalized in Henry Lawson's poems of lost tramps, and
preserved in the history books' tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in
mad circles."--publisher website
