The book is a reflection of the Authors childhood

experiences. The Bunyip was reported to have been

sighted around the Countryside of NSW but to this date

has always evaded capture. No one actually refutes

the creatures' existence, but no one has managed to

actually capture it on film. The story is one of Social

integration, both of the Aboriginal Boy and that of an

Irish Immigrant family. The Chinese Man and his

daughter add a touch of humour with his struggle to

master the English language and his resolve to find a

place in a society of scoundrels and Bullies. The book

gives hope to the downtrodden and those afflicted with

many of societies problems. It is a story of hope and

reconciliation.
