Crocodile Dreaming continues the story begun in A Bunch of Strays, capturing the raw and resilient spirit of life in the Northern Territory's pastoral frontiers.

Set in the harsh yet beautiful outback, this sequel touches on themes of belonging, justice, and change in remote communities. Through rich storytelling, it explores complex issues such as land rights, rural economies, and cross-cultural interactions, all within the backdrop of the cattle industry.
