The Sacrifice

by Judy Leather

Ex-whalers Bill and Jake are blood-brothers. They run adjoining cattle stations in south Australia. But Bill has nightmares about his last kill - of a birthing cow - and his state of mind is not helped by the arrival from England of Eve, his fat and beautiful half-sister.

Music by Elizabeth Parker of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

(BBC Bristol) (Stereo)
