Summary Life was normal for Billy, living hidden in the bush with the last of his kind. Until the spirit of his mother told him in a dream to go Walkabout where the whitefellas live. Find some girls or watch his clan of men die out, ending the Dreamtime forever. Before Billy?s search for girls begins he must become a man. He fights for his life against wildlife, endures initiation with the slice of a knife where a boy never wants a knife to go, and burns under the coals of a fire for his Tribal Scarring. Will the man emerge?
