The story of an Aboriginal youth, a 'bodgie' in the early sixties in Australia who grows up on the ragged outskirts of a country town, falls into petty crime, goes to gaol, and comes out to do battle once more with the society which put him there.

Its publication in 1965 marked a unique literary event, for this was the first novel by any writer of Aboriginal blood to be published in Australia. As well, it is a remarkable piece of literature in its own right, expressing the dilemmas and conflicts of the young Aboriginal in modern Australian society with its memorable insights and stylishness.

Archaelogist David Norfolk is searching for a wreck of a Portuguese caravel he believes has lain buried in the sandhills of New South Wales for almost five centuries. Such a find would rewrite the history of Australia, and at last solve the history of the continent of Java la Grande, depicted by the mapmakers of Dieppe in the sixteenth century.

But when David unearths the body of a man murdered fifty years before, he happens upon a more personal history. An elderly recluse, dying in a nearby shack, seems to know something of the corpse's identity - and also its connection to the mysterious ship. Sensing David's urgent curiosity, he embarks upon a tortuous story of scholarly ambition and sexual passion, rivalry, deceit and betrayal. But will he give David the information he needs before it is too late?
