Jaxie is on the run when he meets the mysterious Fintan McGillis.

Jaxie is on the run in the Australian outback when he meets the mysterious Fintan McGillis. Read by Adam Fitzgerald.

Jaxie is on the run after his father's violent death, journeying across the Australian outback towards the girl he hopes is waiting for him. 

But out on the salt flats, he meets Fintan McGillis, alone in a ramshackle shepherd's hut. But can Jaxie trust him? And what has Fintan done to be forced into such profound solitude?

Written by acclaimed author Tim Winton.   

Set in Western Australia, this is a heart-wrenchingly brutal and yet lyrical tale of survival in the outback featuring the irrepressible Jaxie Clackton. 

Omnibus of the last five of ten parts abridged by Richard Hamilton.  

Concluded by Adam Fitzgerald.  

Producer: Justine Willett.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 2018.
